Problems running SAM

[Sidharth Gurswamy]

Hi,
I have dual proc rp3440. I recently seem to have trouble running SAM on it. When I run SAM, first of all it takes a log time to load up till the first screen, subsequent screens sometime open, or sometime dont even open up. It just stays blinking for a really long time. I checked my system performance, nothing seems out of the ordinary though, cna anyone tell me if restarting the SAM daemon would help in this case, what else could i possibly check?

Cheers,
Sid

Hi Sid,

First thing to check is your /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf files. Make sure all the entries are valid and upto date.

Also, check for recent "sam" patches at ITRC patch database.

Hi,

I would check the sam log using
# samlog_viewer -t -n -o

Check for any error messages in syslog,dmesg
Check the OS patch status of the system and update it to the latest.

Hi,

You could run sam in text-only mode or GUI mode under X11.

Perhaps the text-only mode in the telnet session is faster?

what is there in /etc/hosts file? Just put localhost entry with 127.0.0.1 and interface ip-address and hostname there.

May be a problem name lookup only.

Hi Sid,

You may need to put this line to /etc/hosts file,

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

Disc space could slow SAM down if it can't write to the log. Try bdf -il

thanking everyone for their valuable input. Tried everything which was suggested, everything seemed normal. Later solved by a restart:)... fortunately this server wasnt too critical so could play around with it a lil bit. Thread now closed ppl

restart fixed the problem
