For a long time now I have been seeing this in netstat -pan:
Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established)
Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node PID/Program name Path
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 4165 938/hostapd /var/run/hostapd/wlan0
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 971 893/hostapd /var/run/hostapd/wlan1
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 2631 508/mstpd @.mstp_server@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 106 1/init
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 4167 938/hostapd
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 2629 508/mstpd
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 5411 1345/httpd
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 6062 1932/dnsmasq
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 4489 1088/cron
unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 6078 1952/dropbear
There is no service command (as in other services) to disable or kill this service. I have a real simple question. Why is this running?
This is a server daemon that does not need to be running for any reason if STP is disabled, which it is on all my routers by default. However, I actually have to take the step to include a specific kill command in the custom command startup field in the dd-wrt gui to put a stop to this server. This has been going on for a long time now; sometime last year at my best estimate.
I would like to know why this code is running but I would also be interested to know why there is no service command to stop or disable it (rendering 'kill' the only way to bring it down). I would also like to know why disabling STP in the GUI has no effect on stopping this server daemon. |

if you do a deep search in the forum you will find that STPd is running and its purpose is to handle br (bridge) communications...if im not wrong...but i rather not waste time to post links...
