getpid: peer died: Error 0

Hi

I am running a V-Class, HP-UX11.0. I have a lot of the above message in my
syslog.log all the time. What dies the above means?

Sample message:
Jan 24 10:55:48 svxxx001 telnetd[9955]: getpid: peer died: Error 0

Thanx.

Re: getpid: peer died: Error 0

There are a few things you need to look at here.
First ensure you have the lates ARPA XPORT patch, and all dependencies
installed and configured.
You then need to look at the kernel parameters:
npty
nstrpty
nstrtels

and increase the number in the kernel.
This will then reuire a kernel rebuild and a reboot using the new kernel.

My ARPA Transport patch is PHNE_20436 which I install recently together with
other dependencies patch.

My npty is 300, nstrpty is 1155, nstrtels is 1155. 99% of my users use a telnet
session to access this host.

Pls do not hesitate to ask if the info is insufficient.
Thanx.
