[parisc-linux] interesting problem in tty? telnetd? ls?

[marka]

I'm not sure where this problem is occuring, but I suspect it's telnetd.

telnet to your pa-risc linux box
cd to the root directory
execute 'ls -alR'

you'll lose your ptty and telnet session after a short while (seconds), but
never at the the same place during the listing.  This does not occur over the
serial console, but since that's only running at 9600 it may not be fast
enough for the drop to occur.

I had this problem; it went away when I move up to a 2.4.9 kernel.

As noted earlier with the serial port problem fix, I am running 2.4.9-pa22.

Hi all,

	I experience the same problem on my B132. I can log myself in but when
I do 'su' I got my connection closed.

Yes, it's telnetd. Replacing /usr/sbin/in.telnetd (telnetd_0.17-16_hppa.deb)
with a self-compiled one (from source netkit-telnet_0.16.orig.tar.gz with
potato patches) works for me. I modified Makefile in subdir telnetd to use
the correct login wrapper (the one from 0.17): 
   -DLOGIN_WRAPPER=\"/usr/lib/telnetlogin\"

HTH, Holger

P.S.: openssh works out of the box and is more secure
