Thanks for the info.  I'll file it in the searchable archives for 
posterity.

(BTW, the PHSS_9803 was intended to help solve the tooltalk problem,
not the rpc.ttdbserver.  However, applying a CDE patch is never a 
bad idea and was worth a shot.)

     Keith, 
     
           I mentioned to you Monday that I kept getting rpc.ttdbserver 
     errors in all of our HP's. You should find the same in your 
     /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. I did a search in SOOSAC and found 
     out that I had to apply patch PHSS_9803. (I did not see this patch in
     any three of the extension patch files) I then went to HP support and 
     tried to download the patch to find out that it had been upgraded to a 
     new patch PHSS_11147. I next downloaded and installed patch PHSS_11147 
     but found out that it did not solve the problem.
     
           I next went to HP's unix mailing list and found a solution. 
     Evidently the rpc.ttdbserver problem has been around for a little bit, 
     since at least 10.10, and is the result of a bug in the CDE code which 
     is owned by the X consortium. Appartently as of yet, there are no 
     fixes, however, the bug itself is reported to be rather benign.
     
     I found a workaround that works! 
     
     
           Create a file /etc/tt/partition_map that contains the following
           entries:
     
           /        /tmp
           /home    /tmp  
           /usr     /tmp
     
           
     This got rid of the error messages for me.
