I know this is not meant as a bug reporting list, but since I'm on it for other purposes, I thought I could sent it in anyway. I trashed a FreeBSD (probably 3.4, I get the exact version mailed next week) by creating a bash script that contained ping xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv & line 15 times, and executing the script in the background several times (more like 10) from the commandline with script & (we were trying to slow down my roommates win98 laptop from the FreeBSD dorm firewall machine, over internal dorm network only). Needless to say the roommate wasn't impressed when the FreeBSD machine rebooted, and the win98 machine only slowed down minimally :-) The machine was a p133 with 32 MB, and I started the script as user not as root. I can access the machine for simple tests or configuration data if that is necessary. Since it was the firewall, so we didn't try to replicate the experiment To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
