Are you trying to tusc nfsd because you're having NFS troubles?

No such odd behavior here:


# tusc -ftp 2587
( Attached to process 2587 ("/usr/sbin/nfsd") [32-bit] )
[2587] poll(0x400595d0, 2, -1) ........................... [sleeping]
[2587] nfssys(13, 0x200000007efb0ff0) .................... [sleeping]
^C
( Detaching from process 2587 ("/usr/sbin/nfsd") )
#

Nothing in syslog after that.

Are you saying tusc was on NFS vs local filesystem?
Why not try it on the local one?

45% curiosity, 50% NFS trouble, 5% waiting for an HP expert to make a
suggestion...

I have one tusc on an NFS filesystem that is mounted on every machine. As the
machines are no development machines, I did not put a local copy there.

Despite of that, I'd have to make a software package first to fullfill my own
requirements of a clean installation :-)
