- I had previously posted a request for information on a problem with
- shutting down diskless/dataless machines using shutdown -F. The
- shutdown would hang after tcpip daemons were killed, network interfaces were
- brought down, and an attempt was made to remove tcpip lock files.
-
- The hypothesis was that attempting to remove lock files, which would
- be in the root file system for the diskless machine, and therefore
- contained on the server, would undoubtedly fail if attempted after
- the network interfaces were brought down.

- replied that he had encountered the problem
- and suggested modifying /etc/tcp.clean to not bring down the
- critical network interface.

- jf@edv6000.tuwien.ac.at
-
- reported that the problem occurred for him on /usr clients and with
- "other" shutdown commands. The other shutdown commands were not
- identified, possibly shutdown with options other than -F
-
- The ibm support line replied that this was known problem IX24134
- and that the fix for AIX 3.2 was U404957, which is on its way to
- this site.
