The really weird thing though is that since reporting the problem, it hasn't re-occured. If it occurs again, I'll mail the results of the gdb -core /var/crash/blah, a trace and then try reducing the number of maxusers. This is the longest uptime I've had in almost two weeks - 14 hours. Here's hoping :) MD> I haven't tracked the problem down yet. Please try reducing your maxusers MD> to 128 and email the results to current. If the problem re-occurs, I'll do so :) --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ Security-wise, NT is a OS with a "kick me" sign taped to it To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
