Hi !
the machine : ibm-rs6000 s7a 4-way 8gb memory 9gb swap 72gb disks
the system : aix 4.3.2
the program : tivoli/netview 6.0a
the configuration: no DNS, a well established /etc/hosts (6000 lines plus)
on a " ovstart netmon ; netmon -M 53 " it takes hours
to get something other into the trace-file than
"event suppression installed"
then i used the gnu-debugger and found out that netmon
loops in various system-calls:
------------------------------------
#0 0xd0011e38 in fgets ()
#1 0xd0011d4c in fgets ()
#2 0xd00731dc in ho_next ()
#3 0xd0073758 in ho_byaddr ()
#4 0xd009621c in ho_byaddr ()
#5 0xd00d8194 in gethostbyaddr ()
#6 0xd22413d4 in gethostbyaddr_new ()
#7 0xd2ab3b3c in destDataByIpStr ()
#8 0xd2ab4244 in _OVsnmpConfLookupDestData ()
#9 0xd2aaabc8 in OVsnmpConfResolveDest ()
#10 0xd2ac07d0 in OVsnmpFindNodePwEx ()
#11 0xd2ac0940 in OVsnmpFindNodePw ()
#12 0x102084a8 in ?? () from netmon
------------------------------------
which indicates he's readind the /etc/hosts and sometimes
blocks in those calls :( for about 1-2 minutes
if i reduce the size of the /etc/hosts to about 200 lines
netmon requires only 40 seconds to write its trace as expected
has someone experienced that yet ?
is it the OS or the hosts-file ?
yours,
