My system (2.2 GAMMA) fills itself with zombie processes generated by passserv (the server for the corollary terminal server) but 2.1.5 RELEASE it didn't happened. Now I am a newbie and I don't know what a zombie process was , so I read the New Hacker's Dictionary :-): "It is a process that it is died but not yet relinquished its process table slot (because the parent process hasn't executed a wait (2) for it yet)." Boh ?!? How I must do to bury them. ?? Now the only solution to let them disappear is to shutdown, but I couldn't continue to shut the machine down :-) It is possible that passserv.c (from corollary.com) is buggy !?!? Is there anyone that is using it with a cns 16x0 ? Thanks in advance for everything. Regards... Gianmarco ( gmarco@masternet.it ) http://www2.masternet.it/~gmarco http://www2.masternet.it/
