After mounting fdescfs on /fdesc mount-point, an ordinary user enters the directory (cd /fdesc) and (in csh, tcsh) types: more std and presses TAB to let the shell add the rest. After pressing TAB key, system becomes unresponsive, except of possibility to switch between virtual consoles, echoing pinging and maybe doing some other network related work as routing, NATing and so. Network services (daemons) do not respond either. There is no further possibility to manage the system. I have no chance to try it on latest version. >How-To-Repeat: Sorry, if this is not really accurate, I do not have a FreeBSD box by hand, right now. Root mounts the fdescfs file system: # mkdir /fdesc # mount_fdesc fdesc /fdesc A user in csh/tcsh shell tries to type more std and presses Tab key: > cd /fdesc > ls fd/ stdin stdout stderr > more std[Tab] now the console I/O and network services hang. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
