this is a p133 with 64 megs running Debian Linux 2.0. my system date was
off by 8 hours so i tried to use the netdate utility to set it. The
system stopped responding, even the SysRq key didn't do anything. I
repeated that 2 more times and every time linux crashed. Here is what
exactly happened.
#
/usr/sbin/netdate time-A.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov
some messages here..............yeah your clock is off by this many
seconds.
a pause, i get the prompt back, a few seconds and the machine freezes.
After that i cold rebooted and after the usual fsck'ing i typed date to
see if it was set and no it was still off. I used date to set the time
and it worked fine (in single user mode, i didn't dare to try in
multi usermode).
If any more info on this is required, plz let me know.
Regards,
Ralf.
