Its worth saying I had a FBSD machine with the same version FBSD 4.3 w/ one processor...and it was flawless I cant find anything in the syslog...or dmesg or sockstat thats out of the ordinary...and the " last" command shows: carol ftp 207.5.189.247 Thu May 9 19:37 - 19:38 (00:00) carol ftp 207.5.191.253 Thu May 9 19:26 - 20:34 (01:08) john ttyp0 bmyster Thu May 9 19:00 - crash (05:28) dan ftp bmyster Thu May 9 19:00 - 19:05 (00:05) reboot ~ Thu May 9 17:54 reboot ~ Thu May 9 16:54 john ttyp1 208.130.43.221 Thu May 9 15:36 - 16:30 (00:54) john ftp 208.130.43.221 Thu May 9 14:14 - 14:35 (00:21) john I can only think that theres something with SMP ...maybe....has anyone got any ideas?? this is a production box that i would hate to have to redo ...
