This is quite odd.
I have 2 SCO 5.0.5b servers. About 3 months ago they both began to have the same problem. It was a Warning that I found the cure for on the SCO site. It called for updating the driver for the NIC card. I did that and the warnings went away.
What's happening is that the streams memory keeps rising. I have upped the NSTRPAGES to the max to give a little room, but I have to check the machines and reboot weekly. Once it runs out of streams memory, everyone on the network is locked out.
I have a script checking netstat every half hour, and there is a little bit of memory that is given back to the system from time to time, but each day, the memory used goes up by about 1000.
My TCP/IP version is 2.1.1b. I thought maybe we need to get the latest version of UNIX, which I think is 5.0.5f or 5.0.6 I don't know.
These machines used to run for months without a reboot.
Any ideas? Could the NIC card driver being causing the problem? It's an Intel PRO100b built into the motherboard of these ALR/Gateway servers.
