Dear Community
I think I detected an Oops. I may do any mistakes, but I can reproduce the Oops exactly.
I'm running a server with kernel 2.4.14, patched with br2684-against2.4.2.diff and ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz.
I'm using an Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL-modem.
The clients in the network are all Win98 communicating with Putty (SSH).
The problem is about the following script:
***********************************************************
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/clear
/usr/bin/killall pppd
/sbin/ifconfig nas0 down
/usr/bin/killall br2684ctl
sleep 1
/usr/sbin/br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a 8.35
/sbin/iconfig nas0 up
/usr/sbin/pppd
/usr/bin/tail -2 /var/log/messages
echo -n "Press ENTER to quit. "
read x
exit 0
***********************************************************
When I execute this script over sudo, as any user logged in with Putty, it works perfect.
Then I've defined a ssh-user just giving his privatkey-file instead of prompting the passwd. In Putty I set /usr/bin/sudo inet_up to
execute when logged in.
The target was to simply doubleclick the Putty-Icon from any Win-client to set up the connection.
When I do so, it still works fine, it ends with a connection (which is available to all clients) and log out is done as well.
After that, the first keystroke in any console on the server (through ssh or local) causes immediatly the following screen on the server:

<0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
************************************************************
I did that several times to exclude all other related actions. It only happens with the sequence
described above, but everytime.
Now I actually don't need any help since I worked around it by setting up DialOnDemand, so I don't use that thing anymore (any other
scripts I have do work the same way), but I still find it could be interesting for the developers.
If there is an obvious mistake in what I did, I would certainly also be interested to know.
Thank you
Martin
