inetd[820]: telnet/tcp: accept: No buffer space available

[N.Ramesh]

Hi everybody,
In our site we have hp9000 server 800 series. HPUX 11 installed in the system. We are getting the error "inetd[820]: telnet/tcp: accept: No buffer space available" in syslog. Sometimes the system's panel shows load as "A" and there is no response for about 15 - 20 Minutes. After some time the system restores to normal function. What will be the reason? If anybody have any idea about this please guide us. I am attaching today's syslog for further guidance.
Advance thanks.
With regards,
N.Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,

the ENOBUF is returned because the peer had reset his connection before inetd had called accept().
your inetd is probably hang somwhere else ( on DNS query or syslog output usually)

The best is to tusc inetd with the options:

tusc -T "" -f -p -v

then you will probably see where inetd is staying for a long time.

What is your memory and swap usage on the machine.

This error might occur if the memory and swap usage is very high.

What patch bundles you have on your system


Also revert with the system configuration info.
