its a P-II 333 with 128M of ram.
When compiled with Policy Routing Off
and Socket Filter Off
I could one of the machine's interfaces (it acts as a router) and after
the strobe finished (either Ctrl-C aborted or finish normally) the
device would shut down.
completely dead.
no interaction.
I got a no route to host on a traceroute from the machine outside (via
the dead nic)
once policy routing was on and socket filters on then the strobe
stopped.
I have no greater explantion.
The only weird things on this machine are:
1. ip masq'd subnet - I discounted this b/c I disabled the masqing and
the problem still occured
2. I'm using ipac for ip accounting. I also disabled this and the
problem remained.
3. This machine has 10 NICS (TULIP)
I'm doing tests on some non-production machines to see if I can repeat
the incident.
I hope I'm reporting this to the right places.
Thanks
