by We are trying to run with Enterprise 3.0. Lately added a 56kb asynchronous
connection to a CSU/DSU via a Comtrol Rocketport. Also added several more
dial-in lines.
Started having difficulties with processes* on the system (mostly
these were tcp/ip related). Netstat -m showed we needed to increase streams
configuration for 1024 class and we did. Today the system console froze,
and all access ports including a directly connected secondary machine.
Nothing could login. Turned the machine off and came back up. Restarted
everything and verified that netstat -m was clean; it was.
Exited out of xwindows and ran /etc/scologin disable just to try using
startx. Upon issuing the scologin disable all processes on the modem
port (including those in use) evaporated and each port had to be
re-enabled.
This machine has never successfully rolled over processes. Everytime it
starts approaching 25,000 or so it is necessary to re-boot to keep the
system from freezing up or processes*. Any ideas on how to
troubleshoot what is going on would be greatly appreciated.
