We have a couple of Alpha's that have done this, a 3000 and an axp150.
The /tcb/files/auth/r/root file becomes overwritten.
Once it was a script that is set to run 5 minutes after bootup, all of its stdout
messages were caught in the file.
This morning it was part of a config file.
These machines never did this before the upgrade (I went from OSF V3.2[a?] to
V3.2B).
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Someone had suggested that perhaps init is not carefully freeing file descriptors.
It's a real PITA to have to go to the console and reconstruct the file.
