Hi all. I've got a strange problem which I hope someone can help
with. We have a model 530 on out 16mbps Token Ring running the internet
protocols. Well, recently, at various times, inetd (maybe the token ring
card?) has been shutting down and can't be restarted without rebooting.
The message in the errlog is "EXCESSIVE TOKEN-RING ERRORS". This is
becoming a pain since it happens 1-3 times a day. In addition, this seems
to hit a model 320 on ethernet (hooked to TR via 8209 bridge). Can anybody
give me any clues? Thanks!
Here's the errlog entry:

Next time, when it happened, get a computer to ping your RS/6000 and see whether that restarts your INETD wo deamon. I have two RS/6000 nob530 and nob540. In my crontab , the RS/6000 ping each other every hour. That seems to solve the problem. I have AIX 3.1 patch 3002. Other known problems: 1) Cannot telnet to SCO Xenix but can rlogin to SCO Xenix and SCO Xenix can telnet to RS/6000. 2) If a user telnet to RS/6000 through PC TCP of FTP software and did not logoff properly, it drive RS/6000 nuts. The session will goes to sleep and eat away 10 to 50 % of CPU power. You can detect this situation by running sar. If the percent of system time is much greater than user time more than 10 % that can be it. Run ps au to find the session and kill it. ps au will find the session (pts/?) that does not show up in w command 3) RS/6000 with token ring (TCP/IP) connect to Cisco Router with multiple bridges. Need to define a static ARP entries on Cisco or else the link is not stable. Seng C. Gan Star Enterprise Tel:(713)874-7816
