[ViX_Misc] Samba and Telnet services keep stopping

[machare]

Why might the Samba and Telnet network services keep stopping despite being set to Autostart?

Appears to be a new problem for me with Vix 5.0

Happens on Extrend ET9000 and Octagon SF4008. I keep finding the services are not running for no obvious reason.

If a receive locks up and wont respond to the remote or telnet, is there anything that can be done to find out what has gone wrong?

Ssh to the box and check/post the output of the commands
dmesg
and
cat /var/log/messages

Thank you. I have done that and it looks like the ET9000 has killed the smbd process due to lack of memory. There is no swap file.
Should I create a swap file? If so do you happen to know the correct commands?

The manual steps (via ssh or telnet) are the same as on any other Linux distro.
But afaik, OpenViX also has a swap manager somewhere inside its menu.

It has occured to me, that perhaps I should not run telent, as I can always use SSH instead.

Dunno about the ET9000 RAM size, maybe that one needs a swap file, but I've never seen Samba stop for no apparent reason on the SF4008 (or any other of my boxes) under OpenATV and that's the same Samba.
None of my boxes has a swap file.

That's a matter of taste
Personally I use SSH (using key auth, not password login) only, never telnet.
But for "home" use, telnet is perfectly ok.
