console-bin: forwarding level too deep!

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:58:13 GMT · emma.shepherd

Hi there,

I've been setting up conserver on a number of Suze Linux machines, connecting to local telnet ports.  It normally works just fine, but I've got one machine that's stubbornly refusing to work.  It appears to start up without any errors but I get the following error when I run console:

Here's my configuration file:

#####################################################################
trusted dec040;
}

### set the defaults for all the consoles
# these get applied before anything else
default * {
# timestamps every 1 line with activity and break logging
timestamp 1lab;
master dec040;
motd "^Ec. to quit (Press Ctrl+e then c then .)";
rw *;
}

### define terminal server specifics
default cyclades { type host; }

console BL07I-EA-DET-02 { 
  include cyclades;
  host localhost;
  port 7006; 
  logfile /dls/i07/epics/logs/BL07I-EA-DET-02/console.log;
  options autoreinit;
  options reinitoncc;
  }
#####################################################################

And here's the output when I run conserver with -D:

The 'INFO: peer server' message stands out to me as being different to the other configurations which work - I have no idea what this means though? 

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Emma
