the oddest thing has been happening to the machines here in my office for the past few months. most of the time, telnetd/sshd/ftpd all seem to be working fine, but on three separate days in the last two months, an odd lag has manifested itself during the login. ie. it takes nearly a full minute to telnet into a local rh6.2 machine. and about the same time to ftp between either machines. apache however, which both are running seems to be working fine. as is named.
now i've emailed this list before with this question, but the problem disappeared about 24hours after it started so i gave up on the thread. but now it's been recurring: the second time ocurring about a month after the first, and this time, today, about 2weeks after the second time. to rule out the previous suggestions, i can assure you all that i haven't been playing with the firewall, because i haven't installed one. (we're behind a firewall on a local network running private ips). the proftpd, telnetd, and sshd haven't changed since i installed them, so i'm looking for suggestions as to what exactly is going on... the dates this has happened in the past are below: start stop 2002.01.16 2002.01.17 2002.02.19 2002.02.20 2002.02.28 ????.??.?? and here's a list of the specs on the two machines: sparc64 rh6.2 inetd telnetd proftpd 1.2.4 apache 1.3.20 pentiumI rh7.2 xinetd sshd proftpd 1.2.4 apache 1.3.23 thanks so much to anyone out there who knows what's going on here. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
