Hi, Per the recommendation, I had the system administrators have removed the
cover and cleanse the dust. They also noted an error with the server, it is
as follows: The following error was printed on the screen, it appears the
server utilized all the console buffer space making keyboard interaction
impossible.
vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)
Does this mean anything to anyone? any suggestions?

===========
Sounds like hardware problems caused by overheating.
Open the PC cover and blow out all the dust.
Leave cover off and see if problem reoccurs.

I'm a newbie running FreeBSD (I believe it's 4.4... am at the moment
unable to check, as the computer is down) to host some of my websites. I
sent a query to this mailing list before about receiving some errors when
trying to access my website, after which, ssh would stop logging me into the
server ("Connection closed by [server ip]"), and all web pages would bring
up a "Forbidden" error. After this, the server would go down
completely... or at least I was unable to ping it, access it through http,
or anything
else that I tried...
This has been happening regularly, about every 3-7 hours after the
computer is rebooted. However, while the computer is running, I can
distinguish nothing out of the ordinary.
However, tonight, it "crashed" while i was logged in through ssh.
Suddenly, almost every command that I issued or program I tried to run came
back as "Device not configured."
e.g.:
# reboot
/sbin/reboot : Device not configured
Some things work... (lynx, ping, ps -- all seem to work fine) but
many other commands just return the "Device not configured" or "Segmentation
fault" errors. Also very odd: ls, cd, pwd, etc. seem to work fine, but
when I ls any directory, no files come up. It is completely blank....
Anyway, I'm very scared and at my wit's end. The system will appear
normal once it's rebooted, but the same thing will happen within a few
hours... Any suggestions on what to look for? Are there certain log files
that
may contain information on this? I think the most recent thing I did to
the server was several weeks ago, when I installed "wusage" to analyze
web logs... i had since deleted it. Maybe something went wrong there?
