I have more of a question rather than a bug report, but I believe its quite important to this mailing list as I believe I have discovered a very severe flaw in the BSDI 2.1 kernel system. Today I replaced the ISA ethernet card in one of our servers running BSDI 2.1 (Pentium 133) with a PCI card. After making minor changes to the configuration of the system (specifically /etc/netstart script, editing the tn0 to say ef0) everything seemed to be working fine. Now the problem seems to be that whenever someone tries to run a cgi-bin script from a certain directory on the server, specifically something under /var/www/docs/directory/cgi-bin all networking features on the server crash. In order for this to happen the one viewing the pages must be located within our IP block (zzz.zzz.zzz.xxx) and not have a reverse DNS on the machine they're accessing this from. Note that we have a separate cgi-bin directory located under /var/www/cgi-bin which is the standard cgi-bin directory, and all scripts run fine from that. The server is a P133 HP Netserver LC 5/133, running BSDI 2.1, and apache. I tried two different versions of apache, including 1.2.4, same problem exists. Any ideas? Thanks Vladislav S.
