DNS dissabled or not .. your host still could be waiting for info.
For example, typical installation of TCPD (tcp wrappers) has
the -paranoid setting active which immediatly tries to do a reverse
name lookup. {AFTER the connection, BEFORE the LOGIN just where your hang is!}
If you have TCP wrappers installed with paranoid (default), and no way
to complete the lookup this will indeed hang the connection for some time.
I suspect that once tcpd is blocked by one invocation from someone NOT in
your /etc/hosts file, all other requests through tcpd would queue up too
effectively blocking access to your host.
We use host tables exclusively and disabled DNS too.
I had to get TCP-Wrappers source and recompile without paranoid
option for this reason.
-other thoughts
Also, 'no-route-to-host' and other network timeouts may be
very long, causing a hang that may not clear for 10's of
minutes. Combined with an attempt by your host to access
a server (dns, kerberos), or auth/ident (client) this
could cause a hang .. but trail would show in network log.
Check 'netstat -nr' or 'route' to see the default gateway
is still OK. If it changed (possibly by a RIP default update,
or an ICMP re-route msg) then
you would loose all remote network access at that point.
Also, disruption of network protocols can be caused by firewall,
router config, or disabled services.
Do you have IPFW active and too restrictive?
For example, If you disable or block ICMP, then any network
query may take forever to finish since it may get no response.
As the client telnets to your host, your host (telnetd and/or
tcp wrappers) may use auth/ident back to the client to
validate the userid/port info. If this service is blocked,
the Linux timeout may take a while, particularly if there is no
response at all.

Subject: problem with 2 ethernetcards
Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 20:30:44 GMT
salam
i got the following problem:
2 ethernetcards:
1. 3com509
2. de220 isa (NE2000comp)
Nr.1 functions as eth0 to the outside,
Nr.2 functions as eth1 to the inside.
(masquerading)
my suse detects the 3com automatically
and fixes her to io=0x300 and irq 10
the second i configure manually with io=0x320 and irq 5
and everything works fine
but: after every reboot linux searches after nr.1 and tells me something
about wrong io adress
the second works fine
more tips:
1. when i try to configure the 3com manually (with the values from the
automatic detection), always an error merssage occurs
2. both cards are in /etc/conf.modules with the alias and their io
adresses
what is the answer
bye & thankyou

The Linux kernel still suffers from many (old) functions setting a
global kernel lock that prevents other kernel threads to access data
(think of it as flock()'s). This is nothing that is good when SMP'ing,
because there may be several applications asking the same service of the
kernel. One can be serviced, the others stall.
2.2 and 2.3 removed many of the global kernel lock situations, providing
finer granularity with locking. 2.3.6 introduces major changes in the
block buffer code (now unified with the page cache, as I understand),
which avoids double buffering. Also, the page cache has been made
multi-threaded, so's many kernel threads (thus many applications) can
access it concurently (or maybe almost). This removed one bottleneck
that restricted SMP performance.
There are still many such bottlenecks, as recent tests have shown that
SMP scaling is not yet very good...

However, since you have moved this thread from the list

Humans have better things to do with their time than to
manually apply patches to software.
The patchkit was a tool. It was inferior to CVS, but it
had utility. A number of companies, to this day, still
use my patchkit code. As a utility for a single source
maintenance distribution, it still retains value.
Humans have better things to do with their time than
recoding algorithms to get out from under source code
licenses.
Likewise licesnes are a tool, and we can all agree that
both the UCBL and GPL are inferior to Public Domain. But,
likewise, they both have utility.

Do you remember the times before it "all too well" as
well? 386BSD ran on very few systems, and those where
it did run, it ran poorly. It would not run at all on
AT&T WGS systems, HP Vectra's, or other option base zero
CMOS base memory count, or soft hard drive table entry,
systems, until the first patch from the patchkit was
applied. My patch, in fact.
The patchkit had value, and for its day, short of going
to a full repository, and thereby ursurping Bill Jolitz's
editorial control -- unjustifiably, since at the time
he was actively involved in the community -- it was the
best tool for doing the job at hand.
People make similar aspersions about my LKM (Loadable
Kernel Module) code these days, as well, forgetting the
vehement opposition of Garrett Wollman and other important
developers to the idea of putting a cut down linker into
the kernel. Now the idea is considered both "obvious"
and "inevitable" by those same people.
Like LKM's use of an external linker, the patchkit's
implementation was dictated by what was politically
tenable, not by what was technologically possible (or
even lying around in prototype form).
People who denegrate the patchkit now that they have
seen CVS, CTM, and CVSup, and people who denegrate
LKM's now that they have seen KLD's (the fruition of
a doppleganger of my original LKM kernel linker from
1993-1994) would do well to remember history.

Your advocacy of seperatisim was an emergent property of
the system. I was responsible for the system. If you
are still on speaking terms with Bill Jolitz, ask him who
suggested that he trademark "386BSD", as one example of
the tensors driving the systems emergent properties.
FreeBSD exists today because Bill Jolits denied the use
of the 386BSD trademark for a previously-approved-by-him
0.5 release. It was a forced schism that shoved the
majority of developers out, instead of Bill being shoved
out. It matters little that I suggested the trademarking
to protect him from a cease-and-desist from BSDI, who
was attempting to sew up the BSD related trademark space;
the results are the same as if they wre intended.

I think you are not comprehending the full extent of what
I am saying. I'm not saying that "CVS sucks". I am saying
that the repository model used by CVS, when applied as a
constraint on a group of developers, causes the resulting
system as a whole to have certain emergent properties. The
resulting systemic behaviours are not natural, and in some
cases, not available as a possiblity, to the components of
the combined system when considered as individuals.
I suggest reading:

I don't know if you are referring to the "hot potato effect",
or something else.
In general, I like to catalyze things, and then move on to
new things once they are running. This results in the "hot
potato effect". Examples abound, but I won't "blow my own
horn" here. But this inevitably means that the things I
catalyze get foisted off on other people to keep them going,
if I'm to be able to move on to the next thing.
If this looked like "keystone cops" to you, well, then so
be it. But the appearance is not the fact.

I know that it's an emergent property of "core team"-based
organizations. In games theory, it's called a "Globocop"
mutual security game, with the core team members taking the
roles of the superpowers. In the "Globocop" game, when the
actors are evaluating an external agressor threatening the
system (e.g., someone who wants to check in their code),
they assume a defensive reinforcement of some constant value
C. When the threat abates, the actors relax from their
defensive posture.
When a "core team" starts out, the individuals are highly
motivated; this gives us a =DF of zero, which means that
it's linear, and reducible to the standard Richardson model.
As time goes on, however, power becomes entrenched, while
committment wanes. This results in a non-zero =DF, thus
non-linear dynamics. We can think of this "aging" process
as a constant increase over time of the relaxation value,
from zero, and approaching C. At a certain point in time,
the relaxation value is itself such a high defensive
posture that the preterbations amplify uncontrollably to
the point of schism. Here is the model:
a =DF =DF a =DF =DF
/\x =3D -a x + -=B2(y -(x+vz+C) ) + -=B3(z -(x+vy+C) ) + g
-- =B9 =DF =DF x
b =DF =DF b =DF =DF
/\y =3D -b y + -=B9(x -(y+vz+C) ) + -=B3(z -(y+vx+C) ) + g
-- =B2 =DF =DF y
c =DF =DF c =DF =DF
/\z =3D -c z + -=B9(x -(z+vy+C) ) + -=B2(y -(z+vx+C) ) + g
-- =B3 =DF =DF z
Of course, the "good" thing about schism is that each time
it happens, the newly formed group is made up of the most
volatile elements from the old. The breakup of the Soviet
union and the recent problems in the former Yugoslavia are
as good or better examples than 386BSD -> NETBSD -> OpenBSD,
or the near-misses Linux has so far survived.

Realize that we are talking about doing social engineering,
and doing it rigorously, not Ad Hoc.
Knowing that, the place to start is with a collective
security model that doesn't have an analog of a "core team"
(or "superpowers"). I suggest reading:
Nonlinear Dynamics, Mathematical Biology, and
Social Science
Joshua M. Epstein
Lecture Notes, Volume IV
Sante Fe Institute
Studies in the Sciences of Complexity
ISBN 0-201-41988-2
as an introduction. The references section of this book
contains more papers and books on the topic than any
other single resource I've been able to find.
Apache and XFree86 both have such a model, but their model
doesn't scale sufficiently, IMO.
Right now, the fact that CVS is the best publically available
tool for managing a centralized repository, and that a core
team model is an emergent property of the inability of the
tool maintaining the centralized repository to move in more
than one direction simultaneously, is a serious handicap to
even considering this.
I believe the thing to do is to wait for Larry McVoy to
finish up the BitKeeper license (Linux and others already
have unequal early access to the tool, sans license), and
hope that he doen't place an impossible to meet strictures
on the code, and that he releases it before it gets to the
point where the work can not be relevently applied.
I think until this happens, you can wave your hands all you
want, and no rabbits will appear, regardless of how much
energy you put into the effort of waving. The best you
will achieve is a fifth run of the experiment we have all
observed being run in 386BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Linux;
but if you already know the outcome, whats the point in
running that experiment again?

You have proven yourself to be one that follows me around to dog me.
You hope what? Hmmm.
But I tell you what, there have been a few not so intelligent people like
ourself and Paul May that just don't seem to get it.
The VIC is in no way in competition with these languages or any other
language. But it is a tool by which you can automate the use of these
languages and many other things as well.
Half baked advice for you is to finish baking yourself.

Or use xcdroast. I like the command line better myself for things
like that, but xcdroast seems to function.
