Hello Bernhard,

Monday, 7 September 1998, you wrote:

After running 4.01c for about a hour the 'RPC unable to receive'
error appears. This results at the end in a disconnect from your
linkpartner, which isn't noticed by CLX. A show/conf still shows that
you are connected. This means that clx never will try to re-establish
the connection with the linkpartner, resulting in not receiving dx
spots anymore. Although this could be caused by a died process too.

As you can see I receive all @@@@@@@@@@ from pe0mar but not in all
spots.

Peter (VK3AVE) who also has the problem, and I have (one or more) userlinks.
Peter thought that the userlink could be the cause of this.

I have installed clx on two different machines, because I thought it
could be a problem with the machine. However it happens on both
machines.

Haven't checked if actually a clx process died btw.

CLX Messages.

Bernhard> - What do the messages say? Can you paste some of the typical messages?

Here is an example of my log:

Bernhard> - Does the problem only ocur with 4.01c or did you see it with

Haven't noticed anything strange with 4.01a/b (related to RPC).
I went back to 4.00b now.

Bernhard> Thanks to Heikki for his interesting message about syslogging in general.
