OpenWindows fails with "Binding Unix Socket: Invalid argument"

OpenWindows fails with "Binding Unix Socket: Invalid argument"



This usually only happens on diskless/dataless clients. You
installed a new kernel jumbo patch on the server that exports /usr
to the client and failed to read the note in the patch readme that
says: 




NOTE:       If this patch is applied to a server, it should


            also be applied to dataless clients that also


            mount /usr from that server.  Failure to do so will


            generate this error message when openwin is started


            on the client:  "Binding Unix socket: Invalid argument".


The fix is to apply the same kernel jumbo patch to the client.
