I have an AMD K62 w32mb RAM...recently upgraded to RH6.0 and I am noticing that I'm having trouble telneting into the machine. I discovered that the CPU is being cycled to death by some UNKNOWN process that I can't find, and which gets backgrounded? when I look under TOP. TOP indicates initially that: CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% system, 0.0% nice, 5.4% idle Mem: 30888K av, 29560K used, 1328K free, 22448K shrd, 11820K buff but then after 2 or 3 seconds that: 39 processes: 38 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.3% user, 0.3% system, 0.0% nice, 99.2% idle Mem: 30888K av, 29564K used, 1324K free, 22452K shrd, 11820K buff Swap: 161272K av, 0K used, 161272K free A restart will help for the short run, but after a while, it will continue to get bogged down. I tried killing processes one at a time but it didn't seem to help... Following the telnetting problem I found that giving NETSTAT from the console will report the following and that my telnet session from another machine will "wake up" after being dead if I don't use it in a while Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 442 @0000001d unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 807 @0000003d unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 773 @00000039 unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 5971 @0000004c unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 5886 @00000049 unix 0 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 113 @00000011 unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 694 @00000031 unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 815 @00000040 unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 5972 /dev/log unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 5887 /dev/log unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 816 /dev/log unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 808 /dev/log unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 774 /dev/log unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 695 /dev/log unix 1 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 443 /dev/log Any ideas?!
