Hello all
We run a RedHat 7.2 server in our office (been up for 180 days). We run X
on the server, and clients connect to the server with their Windows boxes
using Exceed. This had always worked very well.... until....yesterday, we
noticed that the port numbers that X uses for the client connections don't
seem to be "recycled". From what I understand, X starts its port numbers at
6000. Over the course of the past six months, the port numbers have slowly
crawled up to the 50,000 range. This poses a problem for us as we use ports
in the 50,000 range for inter process communications between our software
and these ports are now being used by X so we aren't able to open them.
I tried killing the X server (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE). I also tried restarting
the xfs service as well as the network service but with no luck - X
continues to use ports in the 50,000 range instead of starting again at the
first free port after 6000.
If anyone has seen this before or has any hints on how to resolve this,
please let me know - it would be greatly appreciated.
The machine is:
Dual Pentium III Coppermine 1 GHz server (Dell Poweredge 1400)
768 MB RAM
108 GB SCSI disk space
Video card is an on-board ATI Rage XL
XFree 4.1.0 (RedHat 7.2 stock)
Kernel 2.4.13 (compiled from vanilla source)
If anyone needs any more details please let me know
Thanks
