Hi all,
Has anyone experienced this silly problem before?
This is on a Cobalt RaQ 3i (64mb ram) over at ValueWeb...
----
$ telnet www.aviationemployment.com
Trying 216.219.239.32...
Connected to www.aviationemployment.com (216.219.239.32).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connecting to host, please wat....
Cobalt Linux release 5.0 (Pacifica)
Kernel 2.2.12C3 on an i586
login: admin
Password:
Login timed out after 60 seconds
----
Telnet used to work, but stopped working yesterday with this strange
error. Obviously there is a 60 second delay before that error appears.
FTP still continues to function normally (so I know the password is
right). Also, when you get the password wrong over telnet, it will react
normally, saying "Login incorrect" and giving you another chance. Thus
it seems to be a problem with something that happens after
authentication. Does anyone have any ideas?
Because FTP still works, I am able to upload scripts and run them
through the browser (as nobody) which lets me get some debugging info. I
have outputs from uptime, ps, and w below. I have no clue why sfdisk is
running, but we did try to reboot through the admin web interface last
night (which didn't work it seems) and this might be left over from that
attempt? I've ruled out problems with /bin/bash because I was able to
get that to run in a script (`/bin/bash -c 'echo HELLO'` from Perl
showed up in the browser) and that is the shell set for admin (and other
users who also cannot login). (I thought that maybe a script kiddie had
gotten in with a rootkit and installed a (badly) precompiled shell
replacement.)
We had system load problems a few days ago (this is an active db-driven
web site) but they seemed to be quelled quite nicely when I changed
httpd to use mod_perl/Apache::Registry to execute all the Perl
scripts... in fact it made the web server blazingly fast. Before that,
though, we *could* log in all the time, even if it was slow.
So... I'm at a loss. Everything is humming along but we need our telnet
access back. ;-)
Thank you for any expertise. Please kindly cc as I'm on the digest
version.
