I've been trying to track down a strange problem on my own for a bit but I'm not getting anywhere.
This is on a Debian 1.1 system. At random times, I'm simply logged out. And it got really bad just a few moments ago. All vt's where were closed down and a new login prompt appeared. While this was going on, my hard-drive lit up and started spinning like Linux was reading my whole disk over and over again. Even when I tried to login and try to ps -ax and kill whatever was happening, I could only get as far the the motd...no shell prompt...before I was logged back off again. I finally had to hit reset and re-boot the computer. This random logging out has been going on for the past couple of weeks ( but this is the first time it did all that disk activity) and I can't track it down. I have't installed anything new for the past month or so. and i'm not using any non-debian packages. I've checked the setuid.* logs and nothing is different. The only thing in the log files that might be the cause or were logged around the time it happened tonight is this: Dec 13 22:46:10 gtech syslogd 1.3-0#6: restart. Dec 13 22:46:12 gtech kernel: klogd 1.3-0, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Dec 13 22:46:15 gtech syslogd 1.3-0#6: restart. Is this where the problem is? I was connected to my ISP at the time. But I don't remember if I was online the other times. I could use all the help I can get............. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Willie Daniel | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Web: http://users.quicklink.net/~gith/ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
