My system has recently locked up after 65 days uptime, running only
natd for my local network. Natd still works fine and routes information
properly - but I am no longer able to telnet or login to my machine even
from a local console(alt f1-fx). After I enter my root or user name at
the login - it just hangs there. When I telnet in, it does not even
prompt me with a login.
Anybody ever had this problem before? Any suggestions on how to recover
my system without rebooting?
Hi Ben,
Since you are unable to get a shell, it is unlikely that you will be able
to recover without rebooting.
However, you can try dropping into the online Kernel debugger, to try and
get more information about what is going on:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-online-ddb.html
I think from there you can force a panic, which could provide you with
some post-mortem information to go over:

Good luck,
