Lines: 20 Message-ID: <4d7f48$io@jennifer.pernet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: jennifer.pernet.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] We've just recently installed 2.1 here acting as a terminal server. It's got 2 Cyclades cy16's in it for a total of 32 ports. So far we have only one problem. Occasionally the machine will not allow logins(or more to the point _something_ won't). It will print everything up to "login:". Then it hangs up/closes connection. Nothing is logged at the time of disconnection. I do, however have an occasinaly note in the syslogs from pppd. It always comes in groups of two, and always says this: fcntl(F_SETFL, fdflags): Inappropriate ioctl for device ioctl(TIOCSETD): Inappropriate ioctl for device tcsetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device This is the _only_ thing I could see causing the problem. Any clues? TIA -- Neal Rigney sysadmin, PERnet Communications, (409)729-4638 neal@mail.pernet.net My opinions are mine, damnit! PERnet can't have them!
