I also got the following configuration (reported by top) where I was not able to run the ps program nor to kill ps and rpc.rstatd. 101 root 2 0 500K 68K accept 0:00 0.00% 0.00% sendmail 153 charnier 2 0 460K 0K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% 98 root 2 0 196K 0K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% 11130 root -18 0 484K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 11076 charnier -18 0 480K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 11088 charnier -18 0 480K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 11100 charnier -18 0 480K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 11143 root -18 0 476K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 11154 root -18 0 476K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% ps 10967 root -18 0 208K 12K lockrd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% rpc.rstatd I decided to create a kernel with -g and to dump a core (break to debugger and panic) when such a story occurs. If I strip the obtained kernel (current Friday morning GMT) using strip -x as said in the handbook I get: checking for core dump.. savecore _dumpsize not in namelist and rstatd: Can't get namelist If I run strip with no parameter instead of strip -x I get: checking for core dump.. savecore _dumpdev not in namelist. Note that strip -d seems to work ok. -------- -------- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
