Since the upgrade to 4.0B rwhod dies after running awhile on this machine.
On my second machine (an AlphaStation600/5 266, also 4.0B), there is no
problem with rwhod.

I restart it with:

/sbin/rc3.d/S13rwho start

ps auxw | grep rwho
shows the process, and ruptime etc. will report information.

After some time (about 1 hour today)
the process has disappeared again, and I don't find any traces in
/var/adm/messages
/var/adm/syslog.dated/<TODAY>/*
uerf

I suspected it was because the swap space was low, so that idle processes
get killed.
But rwhod still dies after having added another partition of 420MB
of swapspace:

# swapon -s
...
Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space: 85170 pages (665MB)
    Reserved space: 10875 pages ( 12%)
    In-use space: 6734 pages ( 7%)
    Available space: 74295 pages ( 87%)

Where should I look now?
