[madhudeepan]

wen i try to login using ssh through putty am unable to login wen i try rlogin from another server am getting the error rcmd-a lost connection

[SoorajCleris]

Hi,

"rcmd: Lost connection" means the remote hosts did not accept socket request


Did you check with telnet / rlogin?

Check the security/ and restrictions enables for the host and user.

how to Check the security/ and restrictions enables for the host and user?

[Suraj E.M]

Hi,

1. Comment the following lines in /etc/inetd.conf

shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rlogind

2. Reconfigure inetd as,
# inetd -c

(from old threads)

thanks,
Sooraj.

[SoorajCleris]

Hi,

I understand! Are you able to do telnet to the system ( just for checking)?

Is that other ssh anything else is desabled?

[madhudeepan]

no telnet is not working
i have taken console wen i execute any other commands the command is not executing
ksh cannot fork too many processes

var system is full, will the var be full?

[SoorajCleris]

Hi,

please paste #bdf output.

If it is full.

Then you need to check for making enough space in the sytem.

Hi,

It seems to be a critical situation.
Normally I have seen the cases, server crashes if /var become full.

I there is no way to interact with the shell, the only way to reboot the server.

If you reboot also, it maynot boot, then boot to the single usermod and make enough free space.

This is only suggetions, you may please take help from official support people. Becaue if it is a production server, it is critical

>>ksh cannot fork too many processes

That would be the problem I would look into first! Basically there are too many processes running on the system. You have reached the limit imposed by the 'nproc' or 'maxuprc' kernel parameter.

To remedy this in the short term you need to get some people to log off of the system.

In the long term you may need to increase the values of the maxuprc and nproc kernel parameters.
