Re: syslogd not draining

I've got a machine running syslogd, DNS, DHCP, flow-capture, and other

The machine has been up for a couple of hours now, and I see:

ns1/etc;netstat -s | grep full
Warning: sysctl(net.inet6.ip6.rip6stats): No such file or directory
122066 dropped due to full socket buffers
ns1/etc;

I've doubled kern.ipc.maxsockbuf a couple of times now, and yet it
still happens.

After some help from questions@, I'm pretty sure that the culprit is
syslogd.

udp4 0 0 *.67 *.*
udp4 43414 0 *.514 *.*
udp4 0 0 *.49661 *.*

Are you using a serial console? I had similar problems in the past
due to the serial port flow control.

Yes, I am.

So, if I disable syslogd writing to the console, it might clear this up?

Thanks,
