How many unexplained crashes do you think your system should have? :-) Seriously, if you're running a release version of the OS, or are tracking the security branch, your machines should stay up until the power goes out and the UPS dies, or you reboot them. You should be seeing hundred-day uptimes, unless you have hardware problems. Yes, I read that you've swapped most of the hardware out without result; can you set up a second machine running the same software and configuration and see whether it crashes in a similar fashion (or at all)?

[ The data says what services you're running-- apache, perl, sendmail, spamassassin, and suggest that your machine was idle or under a light load when the crashes happened. By weak inference, that suggests against a thermal problem like poor CPU cooling, but I wouldn't be certain of even that. ] -- -Chuck
