Due to the fact that it isn't responding, I can't get a core dump. Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't do anything, however, the numlock/etc keys work. The system accepts the correct TCP connections (eg., telnet connects, finger rejects (we have it configured so)), but then nothing happens. This has only happened since the options gateway feature in the kernel has been enabled, and the system has been actively routing from sl0 to an ethernet. We ran the system without actually gating (no slip) for two weeks without any problems like these, so I suspect the gating. has anyone had any similar experience and/or is this fixed in a more recent SNAP? If you need kernel config, etc, please let me know.
