No information at all has been recorded in the system logs by the kernel, however I have straced the command which did not reveal any useful information either. I backed up the results of the strace as well as the /proc/net/ and /proc/sys/net/ trees, along with the ifconfig. This occured the following platform: AMD Duron 800 with 256 MB 133 MHz SDR-SDRAM vanilla linux kernel 2.4.20 patches with XFS 1.2 and IPsec 1.98b. I am not subscribed to the list so it would be most helpful if you included me in the CC: list. Thanks in advance, Victor (celestar@t-online.de)
