Hi all,
This is my third day of chasing it and am still trying to resolve this
issue.
Left the box running overnight but by morning it had hung. Reboot found
a trashed format: disk completely inaccessable, so...
Just performed a clean install of fc6 and have not added any new
packages or any other software. The machine was given a host name that
resolves with dns. Just to be sure iptables/ip6tables was disabled on
machines at both ends of the connection.
I opened an xterm just beneath the clock, ssh'd to a remote machine on
the same subnet, then ssh'd back to the new fc6 box. It gave me back a
password prompt.
At 9:00:00 I pressed enter in response to the password request
At 9:00:40 the message "Last login: Sun Nov 5...."
At 9:01:00 I finally got the remote system prompt [mike@test ~]$
I repeated this numerous times and each time it took exactly 60 seconds:
40 seconds until the "Last login" message, then 20 more until the sytem
prompt.
I think this 20/40/60 seconds may be the clue, but don't know what
services/processes have those numbers hard coded into them.
ssh/rsync outbound works correctly; only inbound connections have this
problem.
Has anybody else experienced this? Would definitely appreciate help
with this.
Thanks,
Mike Wright
