If I have a login session on the machine, I can easily do a reboot of the
machine, and it seems to come up clean every time (ie. no fsck's need to be
run) ...
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can look at?
How odd. The re-exec feature is not documented in the man page. It
appears that it can be turned off with the -r switch according to
sshd.c. Can you give that a try and see if that offers symptomatic
relief? It would be somewhat less secure as sshd will fork rather than
fork..exec.
The code does indeed appear to use socketpair. FreeBSD implements
socketpair as a system call. Only AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM sockets are
accepted. A quick look in KScope suggests the first place where this
can fail with ENOBUFS is soalloc() from socreate().
Is this machine under heavy memory load in any way? soalloc() uses a
zone allocator. I'm not sure how to track that from userland, vmstat -m
only deals with kernel malloc() stats.
