Message-ID: <1629@brl-adm.ARPA> Date: Wed, 17-Dec-86 22:32:35 EST Article-I.D.: brl-adm.1629 Posted: Wed Dec 17 22:32:35 1986 Date-Received: Thu, 18-Dec-86 05:46:20 EST Sender: news@brl-adm.ARPA Lines: 15 We have the same problem on our network. The work-around that I have found that works is- 1. for the sun do a "rlogin machine &" and while that is timing out 2. do another "rlogin machine" this one will now get into the remote machine 3. do a "who" on machine to find who is the ghost user on hostb 4. kill the login shell of the ghost user. From here, until the next crash, rlogins work properly. I have heard rumors that this problem is corrected in 4.3bsd and/or Sun 3.2. Can anyone confirm/deny this rumor?
