This was my attempt to dial in this morning. The second attempt just gave me
the generic "connection closed" message. Is this an M-net problem or a wwnet
problem?

i would get disconnected before i had a chance to log on.

I think trex's idlekiller has gone crazy...

its saying "No more processes." whenever I try to type something.

something was forking like crazy, which could likely be the idle zapper
(because it runs as root, which doesn't have a limited number of processes).

Don't you do process accounting?

#5 of 21 by styles on Sun Sep 9 22:38:22 2001:

yes.

Should be pretty easy to find out what went amok then.

#7 of 21 by styles on Tue Sep 18 23:49:37 2001:

true.
i believe that it had already been verified before checking.

OK, looks like it's back up.

logged in via my test accountand rebooted (test account was because ssh wasn't
responding and i hate dishing my password out in the clear via telnet).
seems to be working fine now.

Ping works but it isn't responding to telnet.

#12 of 21 by jerome on Sat Oct 20 02:14:45 2001:

It's back up.

#19 of 21 by iggy on Thu Nov 15 13:01:59 2001:

for some reason i can log onto mnet, but then it just sits there
like a limp dick.

#20 of 21 by slynne on Sun Nov 18 23:38:44 2001:

And this is different than how it usually is?

I'd figure it's at least there like a rigid dick.  *shrug*
