Hello,
I have a machine (llama) that is:
Linux llama 2.2.13 #1 Wed Oct 20 21:20:58 EST 1999 i686 unknown
with this inittab entry:
nt:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/ntop -w 11000 >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
After some amount of time (7-10 days, maybe) the eth0 interface simply
shuts down. All active connections (ssh) are closed and it can neither
ping nor be pinged successfully. I can bring it back by doing the
following:
killall ntop ; ifconfig eth0 down
killall ntop ; ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
route add default gw gateway
I usually have to do the first line twice - I assume because it takes a
little while for ntop to really die, and an 'ifdown eth0' will not work.
I did some searching and couldn't find any similar reports; this has
happened to me a few times now so I don't think it's isolated.
