I succeeded in causing the same kernel oops on dewey.mit.edu (Athena Linux
9.4.9) that I reported experiencing earlier on character.mit.edu. This
time, I noticed that apparently, regardless of which Athena 9.4 Linux
machine I log into, ls -l lists my .k5login as
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? .k5login
even when I have tokens and can access other files in my home directory
properly; this condition did not go away for hours. (dewey.mit.edu had
this state even right after it was rebooted.) So I ran (under bash)
strace touch .k5login 2> /tmp/tempfile
and observed the kernel panic, then rebooted to recover the output of
strace. The important lines are below:
execve("/bin/touch", ["touch", ".k5login"], [/* 51 vars */]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="dewey.mit.edu", ...}) = 0
.
.
.
open(".k5login", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE, 0666 <unfinished ...>
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
