Re: [foxboro] /var filling up ... was ... Re: /opt partition keeps filling up

It might be worth checking for a corrupt _sactab file on this 51B.

# cd /etc/saf
# sacadm -l

If the response is:
/etc/saf/_sactab file is corrupt
rebuild the _sactab file or copy from another good box.

If the response is:
PMTAG          PMTYPE         FLGS RCNT STATUS     COMMAND
tcp            listen         -    0    ENABLED    /usr/lib/saf/listen 
tcp #
zsmon          ttymon         -    0    ENABLED    /usr/lib/saf/ttymon #
(or something similar) then there's no problem with the _sactab file.
