Hello, I just ran into a fairly annoying problem:
One of our students found out, by accident I guess, that running find /afs/ -name whatever breaks the AFS client _and_ makes the machine hang on access to _any_ file anywhere in the file system hierarhy, not only within afs. The problem is, this exploit has been successfully used to torpedo exams that involved students logging in to our SSH server, also as a general DoS style attack. Only our cell, wszib.edu.pl, is configured in the client on SSH server. Client version is 1.5.14; the system is Linux 2.6.18.1 running as unpriviledged guest within Xen. Any suggestions?
