    From Jeffk@80:774/1 to All on Mon Sep 1 18:01:38 2025
    Hey all,

    I had something weird happen today. I was doing some FTN maintenance and after I do that I run doors:count, doors:repair_sub and doors:pointers. This time the count went ok, then when I went to repair_sub it just kept going in a loop with the names of the subboards scrolling by. I couldn't get out, couldn't log off that port from the console, nothing. So I reluctantly typed reboot in a cli. When it came back up, no one can get past the login point right after it checks if you have mail, it just locks up and guardian will eventually figure out the port is locked and reboot the machine. How can I fix/repair the
    damage? I think it's with subboards because that's what I was running was repair_sub when I ended up rebooting. Or is this catastrophic and I need to rebuild everything? I can't login at all either telnet in or on the console,
    it dies in the same place everytime and all users experience the same thing.

    Please help!

    Thanks
    J

    Yeah, it locked up on me as well..

    Try these two things.

    1) Go in to the USER EDITOR in CONTROL, click on your USER NAME, then click on Prefs....

    The VERY FIRST option is Login Macro. REMOVE NSAL.. (New Scan At Logon). This should skip scanning for new uploads and posts. If you get to the main prompt run the utils starting with REPAIR_SUB first.

    If that does not work.....


    2) Create a new user, to see if you can get to a main prompt?

    Once you get there you can then give that user SysOp access and re-run REPAIR_SUB, COUNT, POINTERS.

    Let me know if this works for you or need assistance.
