Grex System Problems Item
| 
Dec 22 19:44 UTC 2002 |
This item is for system problems. If something on Grex isn't working
right (line noise on a modem, weird behavior from a program, etc.),
this is the place to announce it. Except for security holes. If you
find a hole in system security, mail information about it to "staff".

Grex's version of "w" is retarded. I can't even order the output by idle
time.

(I realize that's not a system problem for most of you)

I don't know if this is expected behavior or not, but as I hadn't logged
on grex regularly in some time, I figured I'd report it. I probably
haven't logged on interactively (ssh/telnet) in over a year, but when I
just attempted to do so, ssh rejected my password. I finally tried
telnet and found that my password had expired so it required me to
change it. Now, if grex at some point drops telnet (as I'm sure is
eventually bound to happen, though probably not remotely soon), this
could be a problem. I guess that apache doesn't prompt you and actually
lets you login with an expired password, and telnet tells you it's been
expired, but ssh is oblivious. Anyway, I'm just reporting that issue.

It's known; I think it's a limit in ssh, itself.

The load average was up to 168 a few minutes ago, but it seems to be
dropping now.
9:01am up 26 days, 14:09, 27 users, load average: 158.47, 159.66,
155.52
Also, this may be related, but Backtalk was just prompting me endlessly for
a password.

Currently:
9:37am up 26 days, 14:45, 28 users, load average: 18.75, 33.39, 66.41
but Grex is still extremely slow.

running that ran load into the high 100s also.

apache often will not authenticate properly when the load is too high.
I'm not sure if the password files lock or what, but it happens.

I'm surprised that it makes a difference.
