i dont think it's a crash. i think there processess sucking up your cpu / memory etc. that is why your login prompt does not get any cpu cycli's therefor never giving you a prompt...
I had it when i had a nice little .kshrc file which did a id,pwd, and stuff like that to give me the nice little remko:machine [path]$ banner, but that took so many proces space etc, that the computer stopped responding. Hope thishelped you a little :) -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Joe Schmoe Verzonden: zondag 1 februari 2004 3:03 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: [Freebsd-hackers] What kind of a crash is this ? (kernel ? userland?) Hello, I have become familiar with certain FreeBSD crashes - namely, I can tell the difference between the kernel crashing, and the userland crashing. If the machine is down, but I can still ping it, then the userland has crashed - the kernel is still running, which is why it responds to pings. But if it crashes and just reboots itself, then the kernel has crashed. Oversimplified I know, but I am leading up to: What kind of a crash is it if: I can ssh to the system, it gives me the BSD copyright and the uname message, but never ever gives me a prompt. What is going on in this scenario ? What kind of things have you seen that cause a crash like this ? thanks. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
