Nope; the machine is very lightly loaded memory-wise. It mostly works as a terminal server. However, that particular subnet is seeing lots of skript kiddie attacks lately, so I wondered at first if an attempted exploit -- possibly one that didn't let the hacker in but messed up a crucial process or two -- was to blame. Eivind's theory is the most plausible I've seen so far. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
