Putty fatal error

[coollllllllllll]

Hi ,

am getting these below message for one of my server hpux 11i v2 only ;

Putty fatal error ; out of memory and the session simple disconnects.

i do have in my login script something which checks for a user , only if hes allowed then allows him to login in.

Is that causing this problem ????

>Putty fatal error ; out of memory

Is this a putty error or is putty simply echoing it?

Are you out of swap or heap space?  Where are you running putty?

Hi Dennis ,

PFA putty error.

We take a remote session of a windows machine wherein from which we login through putty on one of this server.

The server physical memory is 99% used , but swap around 85% only.

the session simply disconnects and we are left with no option then to restart everything that we had done.

Looks like something is wrong with your windows box or putty.

Hi Dennis,

I Need to upgrade putty or any windows bug known if any ??

>I need to upgrade putty?

I'm using 0.62.

I have connections that drop all of the time when idle but not with "out of memory" and I'm inclined to blame the server, network or IT?

Hi Dennis ,

By server are you referring to this point menitoned in this link below;

"many possibilities exists as the cause of this error but looking at the "Server unexpectedly closed network connection" message, there may be a mechanism to prevent users from directly logging into application service accounts like oracle9i. There might be an implied expectancy that user login to his own personal account then su into this account. Is there such a mechanism implemented on your servers ? Can this user login to any other accounts using the same workstation and same putty setup ?"

I don't think it's the same message, I'll have to remember it next time.

I can always login to my Linux servers, so it isn't this login check.

The putty error I get is:

Network error:  Software caused connection abort

I'm also using ssh, are you?

Hi Dennis,

Yaa we are also using ssh.

Just now am being updated that its been observed for 2 more servers too.

So now total 3 servers.

the same ,

"out of memory" putty  message.
