Zillions of comsat processes... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Just a few days ago, I upgraded my main gateway to FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE. (cvsup date Tue Aug 8, sometime around 6pm PDT). Everything seems to be fine, except for one thing: I now have dozens of comsat processes running. They are in the "I" state (sleeping for more than 20 seconds) I am using the default line for 'comsat' in /etc/inetd.conf, although I did try running it as root to see if that would help - it didn't. I've *never* seen this before now -- the box was running perfectly with 4.0-STABLE with NO errant comsats until the night I cvsupped. Is this a known problem? Can anyone enlighten me? I did a quick search of the mailing lists and I did check ERRATA, but I didn't see anything relevant there. Please direct all replies to freebsd-stable and/or private email.
