Hi,
i Hope someone can help me.....
A client of mine is running a SCO OpenSever Release 5 on a IBM NetFinity
5100 P111. They are complaining that every Monday and Thrusday the system
freezes and no one can login and a reboot is the only solution. i have had a
look at the syslog file and was wondering if the following would have
anything to do with the problem.
"Aug 24 18:45:26 live sco_cpd: ^M WARNING: Duplicate SCO License Numbers
have been detected^M on the network. You may be violating the Software

License^M Agreement and Copyright Law by having illegally copied^M

software on your network. Please remove these duplicate^M copies.^M

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Check whether the customer is running a illegal 1:1 OS copy with same
licence on another PC.

What version of SCO (5.0.5, 5.0.6, 5.0.7)???
The license issue will not cause the system to freeze or lockup in the
manner your experiencing, at least thru version 5.0.6. Since it happens on
a recurring basis, I would check the 'crontabs' file
(/usr/spool/cron/crontab/???) and look for something that is started there.
Maybe a backup, or some sort of automatic cleanup utility that is 'USER'
oriented. Also, check for a low inode count (df) from the command line. If
you have too few inodes and the system drains that down to nothing, that
would certainly cause the system to freeze.

Good luck.

Red herring. You should fix this, but it's not the problem.

Probably not it, either.

This probably IS it. Lack of streams has hung many a system.
See, for example: http://aplawrence.com/Bofcusm/1226.html

(and just moseying around aplawrence.com is good for you :-)

and look at http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/search (put in "stream"). And, of course,
Google is your friend.
