Hello, These messages are filling up the Xorg.0.log and xenodm.log to gigabytes and does not allow additional xterm windows to open.
I see these messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log joe:10424$ tail Xorg.0.log [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.044] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed [2616181.045] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed joe:10425$ tail /var/log/xenodm.log _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed Thanks to #openbsd's epony and oldlaptop, the resolution is to: 1. increase daemon openfiles-max to 2048 and openfiles-cur to 1024 in /etc/login.conf 2. cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf 3. re-login. Thanks
