47.2example how to reproduceBACHUS::BERGMANSFri Jan 24 1997 16:00206
Hello Adrie,

The problem can been reproduced as will, here are the commands I give on 
node "GASTON", note in the last command: nbshow knbstatus gaston, that the
Socket buffer bytes counter is also increased. The version of UCX is here 

  DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX Version V3.3 - ECO Level 8
  on a VAXstation 3100 running OpenVMS V5.5-2

but the behavior is the same with ucx 4.1 eco3.
The command "nkshow knbstatus delco_wfw" tells ": No response for delco_wfw"
although the trace shows a send packet, and the ucx counter increased. (I can
make the traces available if you want)
I will escalate this to engineering.
I suppose it is better to move this problemdiscussion to the PWV50IFT notes
conference?

47.4ASTAT crash in some versions of PATHWORKS for OSF/1 (LANMAN)JAMIN::WASSERJohn A. WasserFri Feb 07 1997 14:4820

	At least one version of PATHWORKS for OSF/1 (LANMAN) would
	crash if it received a NetBIOS ASTAT (Adapter Status) request.
	I don't know if the problem was protocol-specific (DECnet, TCP/IP,
	or NetBEUI).  You could trigger the crash with the SHOW ASTAT
	command from a PATHWORKS client.

	I think problem was noticed first back in the PATHWORKS V5.1 
	for DOS and Windows days but I don't have a record of it.  A
	bug-fix release of the PATHWORKS client licensing components 
	used an ASTAT call to check the availability of a particular
	NetBIOS name (the FindName call was added to the NetBIOS API
	later in its life and may not always be present).  This started
	to cause crashes on PATHWORKS for OSF/1 (LANMAN) servers.
47.5Did you know?VMSNET::P_NUNEZFri Mar 28 1997 15:2223
    
    Adrie/Rob,
    
    Are you aware that nbshow knbstatus will display a maximum of 112
    client sessions? (I'm not sure about nbstatus.)  I saw it on a
    customer's system (contrasted with $ ucx sh dev/port=139 count).  
    
    The customer had reached max # of client sessions at 350 and we were
    trying to confirm with:
    
    	$ define sys$output x.x
    	$ nbshow nbstatus
    	$ nbshow knbstatus
    	$ mc ncp show known links
    	$ deassign sys$output
    	$ SEARCH X.X ESTAB, PWRK$LMMCP/MATCH=OR/NOOUT/STAT
    
    But "Records matched" from the stats was only something like 242.  A
    co-worker pointed out that KNBSTATUS will only list 112 clients.  We
    got a count from $ UCX SHOW DEV/PORT=139 and found there were really
    some 220 clients connected over IP.

    No we were not aware. As soon as we have some spare time we'll
    have a look at it.
    
    Best is to issue a low prio qar.
    
    Thanks for reporting

    I saw the problem that you describe. I also saw that
    PWRK$SDA works ok, so I suggest you use that.
