- Greetings!
-
- Once again my starlan network is giving me problems...
-
- The backround: 3B2/500, UNIX 3.2.1, StarGROUP 3.2, WIN/TCP 3.2
-
- The original problem was when telneting, (or ftp-ing, or cu-ing, or
- mailing) to another 3B2 across campus the StarLAN listener
- shrivels up and dies. Some on the net suggested checking with
- crash to make sure I'm not running out of streams - I'm not. NCR
- wanted me to bump up the tunables a little - I did.
- Les Mikesell described a similiar problem and his work-around:
- check the /usr/net/nls/starlan/log for "FAILED" - then killing
- and restarting the listen process.
-
- The newest twist is the listener refuses to restart.
- When I attempt nlsadmin -s startlan the following shows up in
- the log:
- ...15881; @(#)listen:listen.c 1.19.4.7
- ...15881; Using data base file: /usr/net/nls/starlan/dbf
- ...15881; attempted to bind address
- ...15881; actually bound address
- 010490000000000000080001030113CFE01
- ...15881; TLI bound to a different name than requested
- ...15881; *** listener terminating!!! ***
-
- So, something got corrupted, any one have any idea what?
- how to fix it? or better, prevent it from happening?
-
- Shutting down and restarting the network cleans thing up
- so there is a possible solution - it is a pain to bring everything
- down then restart in the middle of the day. I'd rather not
- have to disrupt the users that have already established links
- and mess up RFS by killing StarLAN.
-
-
- Oh, nlsadmin -i says things are alraedy initalized, if that
- helps.
-
- Thanks!
