Some of our users are experiencing various problems when they connect to
one of our DU 4.x servers, be it by means of telnet, oracle sqlnet or
X-Windows.
They don't have problems connecting with telnet, but as soon as they type a
command that have the effect of transferring a substantial amount of data
between the machines (eg.: issuing an 'ls -al' command at the prompt or
fetching rows from a database across the network) they eperience that kinf
of behavior:
- ls command hangs there (doesn't seem to time out after a while)
- Connection reset by peer (When you try to connect with dtlogin, the
screen is blkank and after a while (15-20 minutes), you get that kind of
message)
- Connection refused by server (Even with xhost + in effect)
- Not connected to a database (disconnection)
These problem started occuring after the staff here (we have no su
privileges) installed some patches to DU 4.x (We don't know what they
installed)
My questions:
a) Are the patch installations via setld "reversible" ?
b) Did anyone encounter networking problems after installing DU 4.x jumbo
patches ?
Thanks !
