9063.0. "telnetd problem, looking for solution" by XKOV01::GPK () Fri Mar 07 1997 01:20

    Hi,
    The following is the problem existing in one of our sites with
    the following configuration alph 1000  4/200 running digital unix 
    version 3.2c with MFGPRO application running on it. The other alpha
    server alpha 1000 4/266 running digital unix ver 3.2c with oracle  
    server 7.x.
       the problem observed is as follows 
    the system physically disconnects the connection randomly for users
    from system side but the process will continue to exist on the server 
    and the status shows as idle.
    
    the following errors are  found in daemon.log
    
    
    Mar 3 16:20:05 alpha telnetd[3522]: ttloop:  read: Connection reset by
    peer
    
    Mar 3 19:24:58 alpha telnetd[5175]: ttloop: read: Connection timed out
    
    the errors seem to be pointing towards telnetd daemon.
    
    kindly advice me on this problem and please let me if there is any
    patch available for this particular problem
    
    
    thanks in advance

Why don't you check your normal patch channels first?  I think the idea
of this notes file is to help people who have problems that don't have
existing released patches.

9063.2Any suggestions on this problem?...QCAV01::NRHEGDET&E or R&D !?Mon Mar 24 1997 23:3612
    Hello!
      We checked for the patches.
      No patches are available. As per the articles mentioned in earlier 
    notes files we checked for the problem of duplicate addresses also.
    There is no duplicate IP address on this network. 
    
     Can network guru's give suggestions on what to look in for.
    
     We have two digital unix machines. Both are giving the same problem.
    
     The clients used are PC/TCP V3.1,4.0 & 4.1 on windows.
     
9063.3tcpdump trace neededSMURF::DUSTINTue Mar 25 1997 09:1915
    If this is reproducible, you need to get a tcpdump trace of the
    connection(s) which get broken.  The trace should help narrow down
    the cause of the problem, and it will tell us whether this is a
    problem with the process being killed on one end, or whether it's
    a protocol problem.
    
    You may need to run tcpdump for a long time in the background
    and wait for the connection to drop, so plan for enough disk space
    to hold the log file.  Use pfconfig +c -a on the server and then
    run tcpdump host remote_name -w log to capture the raw frames.
    Then once remote_name shows an error or two, re-run tcpdump
    against the log file using tcpdump -r log to decode the trace.
