Hi,
Sorry for the late summary on this. thanks for the responses and
as always, they were excellent.
The fix for the time_wait and fin_wait was to add to the sysconfigtab
file the following...
proc:
max-proc-per-user=512
max-threads-per-user=2048
maxusers=64
of course this was done through utilities and not directly :-)
The key was the error in my file for maxuprc with the uid of 65534.
This uid is for the user "nobody" which multiple netscape servers
run from on this system. Thus the trace back to the netstat command
problem. No problems since changing these parameters.
original question follows.
thanks,
Allan
