- I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I'm having problems
- with delays in processing of network commands(route, ping, etc.) on A/UX
- 3.0.
- I've got source to ping(from Berkeley) and have eliminated the delay in
- that
- command by bypassing the call to getprotobyname. Why this call would hang
- is
- a mystery to me. /etc/protocols exists and is fine. The command itself
- eventually completes correctly, it just takes 60-90+ seconds. This wouldn't
- normally be of great concern, but this is on the POP server for Campus
- Email, and this particular bug has shut down this service. Needless to say,
- my office has become a popular place. (HELP!)
- Anybody have a clue to why getprotobyname would do this?
-
- Thanks for any help, Tom Cowin
