Folks... we have a machine that normally runs a few mailing lists, as well as a website or two. It has recently been shipped across country (GA to WA) to its new home, and ever since it was brought back online (reconfigured before shipping..), it has been acting rather..strangely. Been up ~3 or 4 days, with various reboots trying to fix the problem. Worked 100% before it was moved. the machine is a Celeron 350 w/64, running 3.0-RELEASE. Here is what I .do. know: ssh/telnet in, and use more, (ie: more /etc/aliases) (seems to only do this on ~900+ byte files, cat too.), run pine, or exit from pico, and the output on that tty stops. Check from a different session, and type w, it shows that that last command.is. what is being run on that tty... Now, back to that first session, assuming using more, and type q..go back to the other session, and check, and vwalah. back to your favorite shell. Now, run something else. top for example. check, and sure enough, it is running. But the output on the first session is still frozen. It works just fine using FSecure ssh, as well as Win98 telnet, from one Win98 computer. No trouble. I can get in fine if I come in from an SCO UNIX 3.2v5.0.0. machine, either ssh or telnet. From my personal BSDi machine, as well as two other FreeBSD machines (one 3.0-RELEASE, the other unknown, but recently built), the problem exists. From Win95 telnet, the problem exists. Again, it functioned 100% before it was securely packaged and UPSed across the country. Reinstallation is really not an option, due to distance, and some serious modification to the list software that we dotn want to do again...If it comes down to it, I guess I can hang the tapedrive somewhere and restore from here, if I have to, though. If anyone has .any. ideas, I'd love to hear them! thanks.....david -- David Raistrick '69 Westy-Ichigo (retired:( ) keen@quantum.digital-galaxy.net '82 Westy-Maxine (Mom's) '66 SO-44 Westy (Daily Driver) in Augusta Ga To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
