I was able to reproduce the error today while telneting in to the box. I was ftping through telnet and i did an "ls" and it got halfway through a directory listing and crapped out on my. the box was no where to be found on the network/internet. OK i did the netstat -m and got he following output 298/352/4096 mbufs in use (current/peak/max) 170 mbufs allocated to data 128 mbufs allocated to packets headers 41/160/1024 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 408 kbytes allocated to network (13% of mb-map in use) 0 requests for mem denied 0 requests for mem delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines what next? Jason Does this happen regularly? Check `netstat -m' on the machine (you'll probably have to do it from the console) when this is happening. If it happens regularly, does anything specific happen that "helps reproduce it?" What version of FreeBSD are you running? -Bosko G.
