I seem to have some trouble with the TCP/IP communications software on an
RS/6000 model 530, running at release system level 9021.
The symptoms are as follows:
1. Any network access, such as ftp, telnet, rlogin, ping, mount imposes
a one to two minute wait both when trying to connect into the
machine and when trying to call out. Once the initial connection is
made, response in the session is normal.
2. Several times the communications software seems to sulk for no
apparent reason. Call-out attempsts timed out, while call-in attempts
were terminated with a 'connection refused' message.
Sometimes the rebooting the machine helps, sometimes restarting the
network software with the mktcpip command, sometimes blipping the
address resolution protocol with
chdev -l en0 -a arp='off' followed by
chdev -l en0 -a arp='on'
But none of these actions predictibly yields working communications
again.
3. Sometimes ( but not always) I get at boot time the following messages:
starting TCP/IP daemons
/etc/syslogd: ERROR: '57' getsockname, SRC not found, continuing
.. without SRC support
syslogd
0781-222 /usr/lpd/lpd: ERROR: '57' getsockname, SRC not found,
.. continuing without SRC support
