Hello,
I find this error in syslog:
login: load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
login: load_modules: pam_sm_acct_mgmt() missing

Can some body tell me what it is?

Thanks

/TIME_WAIT state- duration/:

ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 30000

Add Syslog information:

Filo,

You have to increase the nproc kernel parameter.

Filo,

If you look in the doc I linked to your question

In some cases, increasing maxuprc, nproc, and the amount of swap on the remote
system may help. You need to eliminate these errors before investigating the
PAM error messages. In most cases, these errors might have existed prior to
installing the r-commands patch.

Regards,

Robert-Jan.

please run this command and post results.

swapinfo -tam
kmtune

Swap in general should total 1.0 to 2.0 times physical memory until you get to the really HUGE machines.

You are clearly overloading your kernel settings.

sam
Kernel
configurable parameters.

Make increses to the items mentioned earlier.

Actions
Process new kernel

answer the questions yes.

If its your first time, we'll start a congrats thread. (bad joke). Seriously, the doc is good and the prior advice is good. You should point these guys and follow their advice.
