I contacted technical support and they reported to me that the machine had frozen (they could not see anything on the screen neither type anything). So I was forced to do a hard reboot. Is there anything that I can do to find out what happened? I'm currently running 7.2-p4. I looked over some logs and the only weird thing that I saw was a lot of: "Limiting closed port RST response from xxx to xxx". I'm only running a ssh server with minimal amount of software and running the generic kernel. I recently finished doing a re-installation so I do not have a firewall in place yet. Any tip or suggestions would be appreciated. -r
