Netra T1 at "db>" prompt



Good morning,

I'm testing out a Netra T1 for use as a light database and ldap server in a remote environment. This morning when I tried to use the box I found it at the:

    db>

prompt. This is what I get when I send a serial break and it's quite possible that I did just that. The machine is cabled to a FreeBSD server that's been giving me trouble and I had to reboot it a couple of times yesterday night. Today I did this:

     # sysctl -a | grep ddb
     ddb.radix = 16
     ddb.maxoff = 1048576
     ddb.maxwidth = 80
     ddb.lines = 24
     ddb.tabstops = 8
     ddb.onpanic = 1
     ddb.fromconsole = 1
     ddb.tee_msgbuf = 0
     ddb.commandonenter =

Before I go completely nuts I assuming that I want:

     ddb.onpanic = 0
     ddb.fromconsole = 0

In production to have the machine automatically reboot in case of a panic and to prevent electrical noise from the serial line to drop the machine to the db> prompt?
