CAUSE
The following processes eventually use up most system resources and cause the symptoms listed earlier:
- Each time a password is synchronized from Windows to Solaris
or to HP/UX, an orphaned (or defunct) process may be left running on the UNIX
client.
- Each time a synchronization does not succeed, it results in four orphaned
processes on the UNIX system.
After a while, if these processes are not cleaned
up, they use up most system resources and cause the UNIX client to crash, or
system performance deteriorates.
