The only application problem we've noticed so far is a problem with
ssh, and only a particular user from a particular machine. The reason
I think it's a kernel problem is that each time, we see the following
kernel message in /var/log/messages:
Nov 25 07:40:31 bass sshd[9514]: log: Connection from XXX.XXX.X.XX port 4798
Nov 25 07:40:39 bass pam_rhosts_auth[9515]: allowed to nah@cgiv1.compgen.com as nah
Nov 25 07:40:42 bass sshd[9514]: log: RSA authentication for bryan accepted.
Nov 25 07:40:43 bass kernel: schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value c453f3b4 from c0130fb4
Nov 25 07:40:43 bass sshd[9514]: fatal: Local: Command terminated on signal 1.
We are also seeing the following messages from our ethernet (Netgear
10/100mbit card in 100mbit mode using the tulip module:
Nov 24 13:27:17 bass kernel: tulip.c:v0.83 10/19/97 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our setup:
Redhat 5.2
Kernel 2.1.129 - using KMOD to load modules
Dual PII-233 - Asus motherboard
512M RAM
Tulip ethernet card (Netgear) built as a module
2 IDE hard drives
aic7xxx driver for builtin adaptec controller in motherboard
1 SCSI hard drive
2 SCSI tapes
X is running on the console (number nine graphics card?), but
X is not being heavily used.
$ cat /proc/modules
tulip 18940 1 (autoclean)
We are running all kinds of applications and using it as a server box:
ssh, netscape, xemacs, nfs client and server, Oracle (not really being used,
but the servers are running), compiling + a custom application that we
develop.
