From: alex@physik.uni-wuerzburg.de (Alexander Jung) Subject: problems with rshd,rlogind under 0.99.5 Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1993 20:55:08 GMT
Hello,
I just upgraded to 0.99.5. The patching went fine apart
from two or three patches that seemed redundant, because
I had applied the new NFS patches a while before.
I compiled the new kernel with newext2fs included and
everything went fine until I wanted to do my backup.
I usually do this via a remote shell (like rsh gravity
-l root 'tar cf -' > backup.file.on.big.machine) because
this preserves all links and file-owners.
with the new kernel the tar writes about 5k and then
dumps core (not through the redirected stdout, but on
my filing system). Also no one can log on my machine
via rlogin. The only thing one gets is :
Unable to determine your tty name.
Connection closed.
What is going on? Rlogin from my machine did not
work ever, but now not even the 'Connection closed'
message gets printed...
Hopefully
Alex
