Hopefully someone out there can help us out.
We have a Sun 3/260 as our server with two diskless and two diskfull
3/50's as nodes, plus a PC/AT running PC/NFS 3.0. All the workstations
are running Sun OS 3.5. The problem is this:
Every once in awhile when logging on to the 3/260 (w/ hi-res mono),
it is impossible to bring up a command tool or a shelltool. Text-
edit windows, mailtool, perfmeters, etc. all come up ok, but no
shells of any kind. We are using 'contool' but no messages ever
appear.
A 'ps' didn't show anything unusual (to me). I killed the console and
then tried bringing up a shelltool, but STILL no messages. Our only re-
course has been a reboot.
Any ideas?
