run strace -ff -p `pidof ident` and telnet from another machine to e.g. port 113
My SparcStation 5 reliably freezes hard doing fork call. The only way to reboot is power it down (Stop-A does not work). I'm running uptodate potato with both potato's 2.2.15 kernel and my 2.2.16. I wonder how common this problem is. Is it only me or all SS5 are affected ? What other architectures / kernel versions / debian versions / other Linux distributions have the same problem ? And, probably more important, which of those are not affected by the problem ? May be then somebody could trace it down. Sergey.
