Hello! I have a little problem with telnet and dselect. I'm not new with Linux. I've my own network of 4 x86 with slackware running on it and one P100 with debian running on it. This is the 2nd time I've installed debian gnu linux on my P100 box. The first time, everything was ok in the 2 first week, but the week after the 2nd week telnet and dselect start to core dump. I think that's not the fault of linux but the fault of the hardware, but I'm not sure of that. I've maid some check to verify if the shared library were ok :
$ ldd /usr/bin/telnet == /usr/bin/telnet: libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x4000e000) libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x40053000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40098000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400b3000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) And everythings look ok. $ ldd /usr/bin/dselect libdpkg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libdpkg.so.0 (0x4000c000) libncurses.so.3.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (0x40023000) libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x40068000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400af000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400c8000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) So, that's the problem, dselect and telnet crash and and don't know why. So, if someone have this problem with or without a solution, mail me.
