Multiple Weird Problems

Hi All,

Tru64 v4.0G Patch Kit #3

First we started getting
1. vmunix: task_create() failed for pid 5002: maxuprc
(=128) exceeded for uid 6232

This user was not logged in, and ps did not show
anything running under their uid.

2. Then I found about 318 procs called rdsym running
on system, owned by root

sample:
root 23523 1 0.0 12:04:28 ttys9
0:00.01 /usr/lbin/rdsym
root 26293 1 0.0 12:04:29 ttys9
0:00.01 /usr/lbin/rdsym

There is no manpage for rdsym, and searching into
archives did not give me much. Not sure what triggered
it, or what it does. Need a light on this.
Killing all rdsym procs, enabled the user to log in.
Remember, rdsym was owned by root, there were 318
procs running (using ps -ef|grep rdsym|wc -l).
How is that related to the user?? Mystery i am trying
to solve.

3. Now, netstat hangs!! Running trace on it, spits out

#trace netstat
netstat
Tracing process /proc/10466
PIOCPSINFO: Operation would block

Anybody has a quick clue of what is going on here?
They might all be related, or not.....by simple
uid/proc id, there is no link!

All similar experience stories welcomed.

_Thanks

Richard
