My box has gone down another two times during the night! And this is after doing a fresh 'make world' which has re-built 4.6.2-RELEASE. This is very embarrassing :( We should compare notes to try to narrow this thing down! MoBo : Asus CPU : Athlon 1700 FreeBSD : 4.6.2-RELEASE Frequency: every 3 - 6 hours now! current p: perl/rateup in all cases but one. kernel : GENERIC with IPFIREWALL/DUMMYNET/IPDIVERT/HZ=1000, and extra devices removed. services : ftp (via inetd), mail (Courier), web (Apache), cvsup-mirror, cvsupd, named, xntpd, vinum, ucd-snmp. Stability was 100% until about 3 days ago. As memory serves, the changes which coincide with that date are cvsup from 4.6.1-p## to 4.6.2, and portupgrade mrtg-2.9.21 to mrtg-2.9.22. In future I will be keeping a strict logbook of changes to help narrow down problems like this! Right now I am considering either reverting to 4.6.1, or 4.6-STABLE which was suggested by Byron Schlemmer.
