I have a Pentium box which I had 2.1.0-RELEASE running on. I changed the track I was following and started follwing the -STABLE releases instead. After installing a new version when 2.1.5-RELEASE was relased I started getting problem with a kerberoized telnet together with the XFree86 server (version 2.1.3). I have seen with sup that I have the latest stable code. I have recompiled the kerberos package. I have reinstalled XFree86 version 2.1.3E (I run the S3 server) When the server is running, the computer completely hangs when either the kerberos daemon is started, or the telnet client is opening an encrypted session. I can not even ping the host anymore. When the server is not running, it is ok to do encrypted telnets, and start the kerberos daemon. Some kerberos commands, such as klist etc are ok to run. (this is _not_ the same eBone package as is coming with FreeBSD -- but it is normal userspace processes, so there must be something else lurking) I was going to try a ktrace on the telnet process, but because the computer hangs, I do not get any output to the logfile from ktrace. Any suggestions of what to try are appriciated. Including methods of getting more information on what actually is forcing the computer to a complete stop. Regards, Patrik
