1. How can I get xperfmon to work under SunOS 4.0.3? 2. Why can I open only about 20 connections to the Xsun server? I can open at least 30 on a VAXstation; when I asked this group about the difference a few months ago, I was told that each connection required a file descriptor, and that the per-process limit on open fd's in SunOS 3.5 (what I was running then) is lower than in Ultrix. But 4.0.3 allows up to 64 open fd's, and still I only get 20 connections.

I am guessing you are running 4.0.3c on a Sparcstation, and when you try to run xperfmon, you get the following message: vmstat: Disk init info not in namelist This message comes from read_names() in system.c. As far as I can tell, read_names() is vestigial; it only assigns to dr_name[] and dr_unit[], which are *never* used. I ripped out *all* the versions of read_names(), and commented out the call to read_names(), and now it works just fine.
