Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 17:28:42 -0600 From: Jon Loeliger Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, Can anyone give me a hint as to what might be causing an odd message in my /var/log/messages file that looks like this: Jan 12 00:28:11 chrome rpc.statd: invalid hostname to sm_stat: ^Xw^??^ Xw^??^Yw^??^Yw^??^Zw^??^Zw^??^[w^??^[w^??%8x%8x%8x%8x%8x%8x%8x%8x%8x%2 36x%n%137x%n%10x%n%192x%n^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P^P And there follows around 1000 ^P characters. Couple times a day on this woefully out of date machine: chrome 4482 % uname -a FreeBSD chrome.jdl.com 3.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Oct 17 17:45:06 GMT 1998 jkh@kickme.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 chrome 4483 % uptime 5:27PM up 105 days, 3:30, 3 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 Is it just time to restart things and let memory re-settle? Is it just time to install 4.2 or so? :-) Thanks, jdl PS -- I'm not currently on the freebsd-questions alias. Please keep "jdl@jdl.com" in the mail headers.
