Date: Mon, 19 Feb 1996 08:22:35 +0200 From: Mark Murray Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi Anyone else seeing this: I have a 386sx/40 w/ 8MB Ram, Adaptec 1542 SCSI, 1 SCSI HD, 2 16550 com ports and an SMC Ultra Ethernet card. It is my gateway machine, so it runs iijppp and the kernel has IP forwarding turned on. The machine is running current (about 2 weeks old). It has a strange tendency to have processes almost "take over" all available time, kinda like the scheduling has gone crazy. Last night this happened to process 1 (init) which was taking 95% of available CPU. The machine was slow, but functional (IP routing was mostly unaffected). This morning I have the same thing, same process. I have seen this happening on more than one occaision with identd from the ports collection and with xntpd. Any ideas? More info available on request. M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 Finger mark@grondar.za for PGP key
