Hello, What does "ulimit -a" say for the shell and user that named process is running in? open files should be >= 8192
I am not sure if this is the culprit, but may be something to check. Note that SUN has Solaris8 on the chopping block: http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/solaris/solaris_vintage_eol_5.2005.xml I mention this as leverage, should it be necessary, to move to something newer. Otherwise, there are many tunable parameters in Solaris8 that improve TCP/UDP/IP which appear to be built into Solaris9+ (for the most part). One can do some googling on the many resources for this should that be desired. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jeffrey Collyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Bindlist <bind-users@isc.org> Sent: Monday, September 8, 2008 12:56:13 PM Subject: BIND 9.5.0-P2 crash on solaris 8 : socket.c:2586: fatal error: Running bind 9.5.0-P2 with -DISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE=8192 on Solaris 8, recently patched, on Sparc. Server is DNS only, on reasonably old hardware, and thus fairly busy most of the time. Got this in the the logs : named[9706]: [ID 873579 local4.crit] socket.c:2586: fatal error: named[9706]: [ID 873579 local4.crit] select() failed: Invalid argument named[9706]: [ID 873579 local4.crit] exiting (due to fatal error in library) and named had to be restarted. I know that there have been a few others reporting this on the list, but I wanted to add one to the frequency counter. We did get a good core file dumped, if that would be of any help in debugging this. Jeff -- Jeffrey Collyer University of Virginia
