I just killed and restarted one of my zephyrd's, only to have users
receive the message "Someone at host <whatever> tried an unauthorized
change to your login information". It's not true! It looks like the
problem is that the global bdumping didn't get set, and should have.
A little more on my setup: I run three zephyrd's, on three different
subnets. Somehow the demons thought that some of the clients had a
"z_port" which was 0; I tried killing and restarting one of the daemons
in the hope of clearing the problem up. Instead I flooded our front
line people with questions from users who think someone is trying to
break into their account!
Has anyone seen this before? Are there fixes for it? I'm running the
8.31 distribution from aeneas.
