====== Troubleshooting Topics ======
===== Troubleshooting SSH =====
Start an SSH daemon in debug mode:<code>/usr/sbin/sshd -d -p 2222</code>
Connect with client in verbose mode:<code>ssh -vv -p 2222 ServerIP</code>

====== AIX Topics ======

==== AIX Kernel Lock Table - Front-Loading Overhead ====
If fcntl is used to aquire locks on files without utilization of the range/region parameters, file locks are aquired without an offset, which has the side-effect of the lock entry being inserted at the beginning of the kernel's lock table.

Interestingly, if an application relies on intensive utilization of such file locking, the overhead of unconditional traversal of the potentially over-sized set of lock entries crowded into the front of the lock table can be quite impactful.

In one particular application, file locks acquired via fcntl was used for IPC-oriented synchronization in addition to actual concurrent file access, which introduced the overhead from kernel lock table front-loading to the application's multi-threaded processing concurrency - and the problem was also aggrevated by the addition IPC-oriented lock volume, as well.

One mitigation technique would be to utilize the region/range parameters for fcntl, locking a region at an arbitrarily-high position, which has the side-effect of the lock entry being located away from the front of the lock table.

====== Sample config files ======
==== .kshrc ====
This sample ''.kshrc'' {{:tech:unix:dot-kshrc-sample.txt|file}} is typically paired with a ''.profile'' containing simply:<code sh>export ENV=${HOME}/.kshrc</code>

==== .twmrc ====
