Result, our webserver and mail server was down. Somehow the rc.conf change the ip address of one of the NIC's from xxx.xxx.xxx.3 to xxx.xxx.xxx.100. When I tried to change it manually using ifconfig (first by disabling the 100 configuration (down)), it gave me some weird problem. So I ended up rebooting the server and with the changes in the rc.conf file everything worked out fine. I'm just wondering, where can I find more info on what happened (which log files) and what could have caused this to happen?
