The system is a classroom web server with about 85 active student accounts. It is running apache/php4 and a few other typical services, including NIS and NFS (not heavily used). MAXUSERS is 128, there are 512 megs of RAM, and the system has 2 processors. This problem has only recently started. The main recent changes are staying relatively current on RELENG_4_3 and enabling NIS & NFS. Below are extracts of /var/log/messages showing the (sometimes mangled) syslog messages and the output of uname -a (sanitized as to hostname). Has anyone else seen this kind of thing?
