This process cannot be killed by the super >user. To solve this we have been rebooting. Is there a better solution? Since no one has proposed a better solution than to reboot the system, I'll offer my $0.02's worth. Good news: There is a "nice" way to kill such processes! As root do: "trace -p <PID>", where <PID> is the hung process. Then, hit ^C to detach the trace. PROCESS DEAD!!! We are running SunOS 4.0.1 on 3/280's. -cj
