Hello

Again, I have a box with syslogd stopped (i386/1.5.2) and
this time I have a root login in a ssh session.

This time I have check the keyboard of the box and
I see the LED *scroll lock* is ON. I dont know why
the led is on.

I think scroll lock can be the cause of the problem
but, first of all, I want ask you what must I do and
in which order.

a) press the scroll lock key and see what happens
b) kill -ABRT syslogdpid and get the core file
c) gdb the kernel (I dont know how to do this)

Thanks a lot
