A while ago I reported a strangeness with connecting to one
of my machines. Strange is now that I can only observe
the effect with that one machine and gradually I'm beginning to
think it's hardware or a driver problem. Let me enumerate the
problems I have:
1/ Connecting from my remote 1.1.5.1 site via slip gives the following
picture.
$ telnet gil
Trying 137.226.31.2...
Connected to gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
FreeBSD (gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de) (ttyp2)
(note the missing login: prompt - it only appears when I type <cr>)
Same telnet to a neighboured machine:
$ telnet blues
Trying 137.226.31.18...
Connected to blues.physik.rwth-aachen.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
FreeBSD (blues.physik.rwth-aachen.de) (ttyp0)
login:
Prompt appears.
2/ Logging in from home from my KA9Q/NOS box via ISDN I get the
login prompt but when typing my login name (kuku) it looks like:
Connected to gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
FreeBSD (gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de) (ttyp2)
login:uku
Note the missing first character k from my login name.I definitely
typed it but it gets eaten up by something.
Doing the same telnet to blues does not have this effect.
3/ Doing rlogin (also telnet I believe) sessions from gil to
neighboured hosts often results in getting a connection refused,
connection closed by foreign host the first time, rlogin the
second time then works.
Now what is peculiar to gil ? The only thing I can see (beside
CPU, 20MB, 486/33) is a WD8013 EP card which the other hosts don't have
Im running a 2.1.0-950726-SNAP kernel on gil. The neighboured systems
(despite the remote SLIP site are 2.0.5 systems or -current ).
I'm clueless at this point. Maybe the next thing I'll do is
change the network adapter to a different type.
