It prevented logins, as rlogin would die as soon as it saw a non-NULL first character. :( And ssh is apparently hosed, and we don't use telnet (too insecure!). Unfortunately, I killed and restarted inetd before I saw the above. Interestingly, sshd appears to have gotten hosed at the same time: Oct 23 19:31:15 sim1 sshd[8903]: fatal: xmalloc: out of memory (allocating 1073688827 bytes) Could this be related, or just pure coincidence? I'll keep that sshd running for a while... This is all in 3.0-19980804-SNAP, BTW.
