On December 6, 1994, I posted:

I received these suggestions:
1. Increase the number pty's.
2. Check parameters in /etc/inetd.conf.
3. Apply Patch 100178-09
Patch-ID# 100178-09
Synopsis: SunOS 4.1.1;4.1.2;4.1.3: inetd "broken server detection" breaks
on fast machines
Unfortunately, the inetd hangs about once a month so it will
be while before I know if any of the above fix the problem.
One other sun-manager also saw this problem.
