bill... i'm pretty sure it 'reboots', ie, the remote system has the user/passwd prompt.. i put a dummy character in the user... i go to my system that i'm using to ssh into the box. i do a 'reboot' and i see that the remote screen no longer has the 'dummy char' in the user.. if i'm fast enough, i can actually see part of the reboot process.. but i still have the network connection issue that i mentioned.... if i stand at the machine, and physically power it down/hit the reboot switch, everything works ok.. -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bill Gradwohl Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 11:39 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: rebooting a remote FC3 system bruce wrote: >when i remotely reboot a FC3 system from a ssh term/window, the remote FC3 >system seems to have issues reconnecting to the network. i can go to the >remote/FC3 system, login, and try to ping the world, and i get "Network is >Unreachable".

What does uptime say after you think its been shutdown? Maybe you are on your way down which may kill your networking, but then it doesn't complete the shutdown. -- Bill Gradwohl bill@xxxxxxx http://www.ycc.com spamSTOMPER Protected email -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
