Interestingly enough it seems to happen during a telnet session. I can telnet to the box, then hit w, and it will lock up...not all the time but a lot. I can type ls, and it will lock up. Nothing is really running on the box, no web server, just what comes from a general install. -Mike >From: "Jason Sheets" >To: "Mike Dorin" >Subject: Re: Track down lockup problem >Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 13:41:29 -0600 > >If you are running 4.3 then you are actually running 4.3-stable.
