Q.
After applying Support Pack 4 to a NetWare 5.1 server, I experienced constant high CPU utilization, even when the server seems to be idle. What's wrong with this picture?

Dear High: Check to see if you are using XCONSSVR.NLM on your server. If you are, you need to apply the following patch:

Entitled "XCONSSRV High Utilization Fix," TID #2961379 provides the patch file xconss9f.exe and explains the following:
"XCONSSRV.NLM is used with XCONSOLE.NLM to provide remote NetWare console control through TELNET. This XCONSSRV.NLM (v9.00f) corrects a high CPU utilization problem. This version is already present in NW 6.0. It has also been tested and is applicable to NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 4.2 environments."
