Sun systems hang about once a day.

I received several responses in a very short time (as many have said, this

list is great). Here's a summary:

Thanks to:

uunet!oddjob.uchicago.edu!oconnor!gorpong

uunet!sunne.East.Sun.COM!stern

uunet!mcnc.org!ge-dab!ORCAD2.dnet.ge.com!THIER

"ajc@mcm.com", "uunet!sunne.East.Sun.COM!stern", and

"uunet!mcnc.org!ge-dab!ORCAD2.dnet.ge.com!THIER" all suggested Patch-ID#

100159-01 which deals with a problem with Sun's tcp-loopback mechanism --

it apparently has a tendency to hang the system if used a lot. I've

applied this patch, and am waiting for the system to crash or not.

finnell@community-chest.mitre.org suggested I look for cron jobs deleting

things from /tmp or elsewhere on a daily basis. I do have a couple of

these, but don't see the connection. I forgot to mention in my original

note that we are not using tmpfs (mostly because of all the grief we've

seen on this list).

uunet!oddjob.uchicago.edu!oconnor!gorpong pointed out that sendmail isn't

actually started by inetd. He's correct ... I had just pulled a daemon

name off the top of my head when I posted.

Thanks again for all responses!
