Keywords: [looks like the line eater ate my whole article last time] I hope someone out there can help. I have a pdp11/44 running networked 2.10 on an Interlan NI1010, and another 44 running 2.10 with a DEC DELUA (DEUNA). The problem I'm seeing on both is when some network access happens, (rcp, telnet, ftp, etc.), the user gets a message back: processname: socket: No buffer space available 'netstat -m' shows something like: 16/80/80 mbufs free 240/376/5500 bytes free 5.4 Kbytes allocated to network (93.2% in use) 110 requests for memory denied This is all with only a couple of rlogins and 3 telnets running. Question: How do I increase the buffer space for the networking. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks in advance. Mike Ewan Tektronix Inc.

This is one of the problems with 2.10BSD. There is NOT a lot of space
to do a lot of networking. Adding mbuf space is not easily done. On the
2.10BSD machine we have here (an 11/73), we even have problems running ftpd.
(Outbound ftp's work fine though). If ANYONE has any help in this area,
please post it!
Thanks,

Well Keith will probably post something on this, but I'll put a note in just in case he's busy ... :-) We're in the process of BETA testing our second release of 2.10BSD. This release includes several bug fixes, some of the final things missing from the first release (fortran, lpr come to mind), and completely reworked networking. The networking has been moved to superviso space which solves many of the space problems that people have been having. The new networking is also a *lot* more stable than the networking in our first release. We're shooting for the end of July as our release target. This means that it will probably be available from USENIX somewhere around the middle of August if tape copying goes smoothly. Note that as with all delivery schedules one should apply the formula ((X*2)+3)^4 ... :-) Casey
