Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

It's me again, everyone's favorite Linux newbie. I hope I'm not wearing out my welcome here asking so many questions, but honestly this has been the best resource I've found so far.
Recently I've been having to reboot my DNS-321 just about every day. It becomes almost completely unresponsive. I say almost because it takes a good five minutes to get telnet'ed into it, and another five or so to get a "top" running. When I do, however, I notice that there are a dozen or more processes running called /ffp/bin/sh. Each one eats 2% of the system's memory. My suspicion is that more and more instances of this keep coming up until the system chokes.
Does anyone know what would cause that?
Edit: It seems this is preventing it from staying idle as well. The drives are spinning up every time a new copy of that process gets kicked off. Very annoying.

This is really strange. I'm sitting here watching "top" refresh and every minute or so another process kicks off. If I leave it running for a while I come back to find the page filled up with the following:
7439 1777 root S 1368 2% 0% /ffp/bin/sh
7567 1777 root S 1364 2% 0% /ffp/bin/sh

Is there a log somewhere I can check to see what's starting this?

Still having this issue. It definitely has something to do with my telnetd.sh script. Can someone post what it should look like?
This is what mine looks like right now:
#!/ffp/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: telnetd
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr
name="telnetd"
command="/ffp/sbin/telnetd"
telnetd_flags="-l /ffp/bin/sh"
run_rc_command "$1"

Last week I very stupidly removed the "-l /ffp/bin/sh" (in an attempt to get a login prompt for telnet access) and was no longer able to access root. I manually re-added that line and at another member's advice was able to get fun_plug to overwrite the edited telnetd.sh file. I got my access back, but that's precisely when this new issue presented itself.
It's definitely something that I've screwed up, I just can't for the life of me find what.

I am a newbie myself and I had strange behaviour when I mistakenly edited a file using notepad. Now I use Notepad++ for nearly all my unix editing, making sure file is set as 'Convert to Unix format'.
I have added the [LF] characters myself to indicate the linefeed symbols. Make sure no [CR] symbols are present.
Hope this helps.

Sometimes, when I "exit" from telnet I find that the session doesn't end and I have to close telnet manually. When I do this, bin/sh is left in memory. Clearing then manually with "kill" or rebooting is the only solution.
