[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [FW1] Resource Problem
I have a firewall which has been running nicely for years and has suddenly decided to choke. Here is the identifying information: OS: Solaris 2.6 FW-1 Version: 4.0 SP 1 Symptoms: Logging stopped. NFS traffic (*) stopped being allowed through. The following messages began to appear in /var/adm/messages: Jan 8 09:14:01 ems-fw01 unix: FW-1: log message queue is full Jan 8 09:15:12 ems-fw01 unix: FW-1: lost 512 log/trap messages Jan 8 09:15:12 ems-fw01 unix: FW-1: log message queue is full Jan 8 09:17:26 ems-fw01 unix: FW-1: lost 512 log/trap messages The following message began appearing by the thousands in fwd.log: fwd: fwdom: Failed to create pipe: Too many open files In addition, I got the following in fwd.log: fwd: Can't open database/rules.C: Too many open files After following Checkpoint support's suggestion to increase the size of the log message queue, the message changed regarding the number of messages lost, but the other symptoms remained the same, with the addition of thousands of the following in fwd.log: fwd: fwauthd: socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCKETPAIR): Too many open files After a reboot, everything functions properly for around an hour, then the problems reliably start. Checkpoint's next suggestion is to upgrade. I'd prefer to avoid this for now, for a variety of reasons, so I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone had any ideas. I'm probably running out of some system resource, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas for where to look next? -- Boyd Nation Energy Management Systems Services Southern Company [email protected]:================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
