The other day I updated the binaries on our pmax system to those
contained in arch/pmax/snapshot-1997-07-19. I also compiled a new
kernel from the -current source (24Jul97). When I booted this system
I started having this problem where anytime I was telnet'ed to the machine
and did something that generated a large (like 2 or 3 k) amount of
output the telnet connection hangs. Other TCP based services
like ftp or nntp do not act like this, only telnet. I tried recompiling
telnetd, libtelnet, libc, libutil, but the problem remains.
When a telnet connection gets hung it shows up in netstat like this:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state)
tcp 0 3097 lazy.CS.UNLV.EDU.telne duke.CS.UNLV.EDU.2376 ESTABLISHED
Any ideas as to what's going on here? Is there some magic piece of the
system that I need to recompile?
On the off chance that it matters I've included the kernel config file for
the system:
