[comp.protocols.appletalk] PROBLEM: AUFS dies on a tickle timeout

matthew@ooc.uva.nl (Matthew Lewis) (12/15/90)

Hello,

I am using the Rutgers CAP release (the latest, picked up two weeks ago), on a
SPARCstation 1 under Sun OS 4.1.  There are about 10 Mac users right now, using the Sun
as fileserver.  All of them access the Sun via a Webster Multigate.

It recently came to my attention that occasionally, the AUFS parent kills off a child
process serving a user with a tickle timeout.  This has been known to happen in the
middle  of running an application from the server, as well as when the user is idle for
a few minutes.  The fastest I have recorded is logging in at 14:26 and getting dropped
at 14:28.  This does not happen to a Macintosh directly on the Ethernet, just on
LocalTalk (PhoneNet, actually) via the Multigate.  Anyone ever see this one before?

Thanks in advance,
