Helo fellow sys-admins.

We are currently upgrading all our machines to Digital UNIX 4.0D for Y2K
readiness. We have 7 AS4100 and 2 AS2100 servers. All went well, so far, but I
am encountering strange behaviour on the first AS2100 I've upgraded.

We have WAN.
Ping works, telnet works (comm lines are bad, so there are glitches, but it
works).
Route daemon is off, static default route points to the router on the location.
Filesystems have space (/ - 37%, /usr - 67%)

FTP of a small file works (~ several KB).
FTP of a big file doesn't. On the destination, there is a file, either at 0
length or at some small fixed length. It just sits there. It is the same for
outbound GET attempt or inbound PUT attempt. I just can't place a file on the
system via FTP. All other machines work fine.
Turning "-d -l" options doesn't give anything unusual.

We did hav some network problems, but while FTP sits doing nothing, telnet
works.

Anybody has any ideas?

Nix.
