Is there any chance this might've caused an issue with natd and a gateway
machine using an Intel EtherExpress/100?

I CVSup'ed on Friday 26th (morning AEST) to RELENG_4 remotely ... and
subsequently locked myself out :) NATD was chewing up a lot of CPU (~20% on
a 1GHz single CPU) and the machine was almost unreachable using the fxp
interface - I could eventually get an SSH login prompt but that would
timeout. From the LAN side (an rl driver card, Dolphin?) people could still
access the machine. The internal users still had internet access, albeit
very, very slow.

Sorry I don't have better information, I've still got the logs but couldn't
find anything obvious being streamed to the console and natd didn't seem to
have much to say (I'd have looked at syslog but I was only getting ~3 minute
windows on the machine before it started complaining again). Killing and
restarting NATD would fix the problem temporarily, however it would start
happening again after a short period, maybe triggered by another SSH
connection to the outside interface though thats just guessing/coincidence
at this stage.

CVS'uping to a previous date=2003.09.19 tag fixed the issue; I've got a list
of the files that were affected between the good date and (my) bad date if
they're of use.

Regards,
Joe
