This really isnt random but kindof. My SCO 5.0.4 server will stop responding atleast 2 times a day in the morning when first shift operations start and the evenings a couple hours after 2nd shift operations start.
When you attempt to login when this happens you will get the login prompt and be able to enter your password then nothing it just sits there. If you have a terminal already up when this happens you can still move around however alot of programs like out main cobol programs will not run. The last entries in the syslog when this happens are unable to find user in protected password database(or something to that affect). It will do this for every attempt you make to login to the system when it freaks.
There is no specific application it stops on and this just started 5 days ago and no system changes were made. The only thing I find odd with it is when I verify system from custom It seems to find the same discrepencies with passwd, group and the vision mapfile. And when I view my group file in /etc the number of users listed by group 50 are around 20 when I have over 380 users in the passwd list. Why arent all my users in group 50 showing in the group file under group 50. Might not be related to the system stop responding but I dont understand why it isnt.
