I was wondering if anybody else had either seen the below or noticed
it.? I didn't have as free space on my public structure as I thought I
should, so I went poking around and found:
TOMMYT:<SYSTEM-ERROR>?? Pages?? Bytes(Size)? Write Date and Time Writer
?ERROR.SYS.1;P777752????? 138,495 70909216(36) 11-Jan-2021 14:20:29
OPERATOR
To put this into perspective, we are looking at about a 304 MB file;
it's larger than what could have been held on an RP06? So I ran SPEAR
and pulled down a few of the most recent items, viz:
***********************************************
DECNET ENTRY
?LOGGED ON? 9-Jan-2021 19:02:18-EST????? MONITOR UPTIME WAS 113
day(s) 0:50:12
??????? DETECTED ON SYSTEM # 3691.
??????? RECORD SEQUENCE NUMBER: 28063.
***********************************************
DECNET Event type 5.15, Receive failed
From node 2.522 (VENTI2), occurred 9-JAN-2021 19:02:08
? Line NI-0-0
? Failure reason = Frame too long
? Ethernet header = AB 00 00 03 00 00 / AA 00 04 00 FF 0B
There are hundreds of thousands of these, causing ERROR.SYS to grow by a
number of pages every day.? I didn't remember how to turn a DECnet node
number into dotted decimal, but I did notice the follow from the DECnet
bridge (SIGUSR1):
Host table:
0: purgatorio 0.0.0.0:0 (Rx: 2963632 (3352330) Tx: 1687334 Fw:
1276298 (Drop rx: 2076032)) Active: 1 Throttle: 598 (203)
1: legato 108.65.195.50:4711 [Ov: 0, Nov: 1693548, Lst: 0] (Rx:

Throttle: 9054(070)
Hash of known destinations:
aa000400080a -> 0 (2.520)
aa0004000a0a -> 0 (2.522)
aa000400ff0b -> 1 (2.1023)
So one of these is coming over that bridge (2.1023).? What is AB 00 00
03 00 00?? Anybody have any ideas of what's going on?? I haven't looked
in the monitor code, yet.? If you are running any 36 bit OS, what are
you seeing?
