I've been having this problem ever since I switched from Red Hat 4.2
to 5.0. I'm using kernel 2.0.32. The exact problem is klogd and syslogd
consume about 90% of the CPU. Also /var/log/messages contains lines like:
localhost kernel: Cannot read proc file system: 9 - Bad file number.
localhost last message repeated 61292 times
localhost last message repeated 124598 times
...
This usually happens as soon as I run ppp-on (also connecting with
the Red Hat GUI program for ppp connection) after a fresh reboot.
I've posted this problem twice before, don't remember which lists.
Since then I did some searching of the archive lists and found that
someone on the linux.redhat.axp newsgroup posted "klogd spinning".
He had the same problem but it was not associated with ppp. His
solution was to send a SIGTSTP/SIGCONT pair to klogd with a delay
of a few minutes in between.
Is there something wrong with my /proc or klogd?
Could I be doing something wrong with ppp-on (not likely since the
Red Hat program also causes this)?
And, finally, if no one knows anything about this problem could you
please tell me what "send a SIGTSTP/SIGCONT pair to klogd with a delay
of a few minutes in between" means. I've tried the kill command
at several levels (-15/-9 ...). Also, I tried
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart".
Any Help?

Terry Eck
