- Summary: Woes caused by the panacea of all our 10.3 woes
-
- We recently finished upgrading our cluster of 16 machines (2 DN 4500's + 14
- 3500's) to 10.4 - and since then we've been having several problems:
-
- - csh/tcsh will go into a "can't find any commands" mood, from which the only
- way to do anything is exec /bin/ksh. (It seems to be linked to the
- tty's as some tty's have the problem & others don't...rebuilding the
- tty's "cures" the problem for a few days, but then it comes back)
-
- - processes aren't dying properly. For example a user telnet's in, and
- starts reading news. The telnet will die, but it's child csh and the
- trn will keep going. In fact, the last process in the chain will
- start using huge amounts of processor time. The only solution we've
- found for this so far is to check the process table every 10 minutes
- and kill -HUP every process who's unix_PPID is 1 (and is not owned
- by root/daemon/user/etc.) kill(-9, -1) is also failing at times.
-
- - vuelogin/Xdomain keeps complaining about:
- "InitShareExt: Can't initialize extension"
-
- Any suggestions on how to fix these?
