ssh access would probably not be enough, apart from the dbri driver test. If the kernel has a major problem, the ssh session usually hangs as well. But with a console a on a serial line I can use the magic sysrq keys to get important data. The serial line would be connected to a machine close by. Physical access would only be needed for a power cycle, e.g. if an SMP kernel fails to boot at all. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
