Hi,
I have the following network:
- 1 Sun 3/260 file server for 3 Sun 3/60s, all running SunOS4.0,
- 1 Sun 3/160 file server for 1 Sun 3/50, all running SunOS3.2.
I am used to work on the Sun3/50, using rlogin to operate on the other
stations (this ws is in my office).
The file servers are never rebooted (except for new configuration).
Since one week, I have observed the following: I cannot rlogin the Sun
3/260 file server in a shelltool from my Sun3/50. I see the motd and the
prompter of the remote file server, but I cannot enter anything, The tool
stays hanging. I have tried to rlogin in a cmdtool from my Sun3/50, and
that works.
Then I have tried to rlogin from the clients (Sun3/60s), I can neither
rlogin in a shelltool nor in a cmdtool. On the file server itself, I can
work normally in a shelltool and a cmdtool (I couln't work once in a
shelltool, but I cannot reproduce it).
I have called Hotline Germany two days ago, I don't have yet any answer.
Any idea ? Did you already have this problem ?

About the best thing to try if the tty appears to be hung is the following: ^J stty all^J See what is set. exit^J will get you out. I have seen things get wedged on 3.x with X11 keeping the pty's set to an insane state. I've also seen it periodically with 4.0 and Suntools. Can't get a handle on it though. Been tempted to write a real stty sane program to fix the ioctls that stty can't clear.... Sigh -tank-
