A local user can use it to crash all 4.5 systems. obviously this doesn't happen for everyone. if a machine crashes, it has a crashdump. there is ample documentation in the handbook on how to retrieve this crashdump. more likely then not, ssh has nothing to do with your machine crashing and its just tickling another bug in the system. we don't know which one though, because you didn't include a crashdump traceback. -- - bill fumerola / fumerola@yahoo-inc.com / billf@FreeBSD.org / billf@mu.org - my anger management counselor can beat up your self-affirmation therapist How-To-Not-Repeat: [ref4-billf] /home/billf > uname -a FreeBSD ref4.freebsd.org 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Tue Jan 29 18:18:29 PST 2002 cshumway@ref4.freebsd.org:/local0/scratch/obj/usr/src/sys/REF4 i386 [ref4-billf] /home/billf > ssh localhost billf@localhost's password: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
