- I'm trying to understand some weird behavior on a Sun 4/110 running
- SunOS 4.1.1.
-
- Netstat reports a lively "sunrpc" life for an otherwise sedate little
- workstation. The "localhost.sunrpc" entries seem to cycle from none to
- hundreds and slowly back down to none. It almost seems as if running
- "netstat" causes them to increase!
-
- It's the only system on a subnet that's attached to the second ethernet
- interface on a gateway host. The other interface of the gateway is
- connected to a backbone network. At most there are 20 hosts doing nfs
- mounts of the 4/110 system; basically inactive It's the only system in
- our environment not running NIS. Processes involving RPC (rpc.lockd,
- rpc.mountd, nfsd, etc...) are usually idle or idle and swapped out so
- I'm puzzled by the output of netstat! I haven't noticed this behavior
- on other systems; otherwise this system is working ok. The output of
- "netstat" and "ps ax" follow.
-
- Has anyone else out there run across this?
