Hi there folx,
After the joy of working QUOTAs in 205R came first
problem:
system periodically locks up under 25-30 users load
in very weird way:
- I have a root logged in on the console (just in case),
and when the system locks up , root can type commands on
the prompt ( w/o them being executed though) , switch the consoles,
and when you press Enter - the screen actually goes up. But
that's the only response you can get from the system
- telnet/ftp from remote hosts reply "connected" and just
sit there forever
- ping from remote hosts work just fine
- and ( The Mistery ) - there is strange message -- MARK --
in the /var/log/messages a few times before the system actually
stops accepting the connections ....
Any ideas ?
The system is P90 PCI/Bustec 946C/128M RAM/ 1+4 Gb Seagate Barracudas
Here comes the config file ( just in case )

In the world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun ...
