Hello, all. Has anyone experienced problems with sshd on a box with a de (digital) based NIC? Specifically, the interface stops communicating for a indeterminate period of time, usually on the order of several minutes. Just as mysteriously as it starts, it stops and everything goes back to normal. I had experienced this under 2.2 and 2.2.1 and thought that 2.2.5 had fixed it. I had changed NIC's in that period though to a 3com, which was apparently the real fix. Now I've started working with a 2.2.5 machine with a Kingston PCI NIC and the problem has resurfaced. Killing sshd makes the problem go away. This has also happened on several de based NIC's (Kingston, DEC and I believe an SMC Etherpower2). There doesn't have to be any ssh client activity, just running the server for several hours apparently is enough (for me at least). I realize this info is nebulous, but I want see if any others have encountered this or if there are known issues before I dive into the driver source (that tulip stuff looks pretty hairy). - Bruce ======================================================================== || Bruce M.
