I am having a very "nasty" problem with a freebsd installation. I switched several months ago from Linux to FreeBSD and at the beginning I was satisified by the network behaviour of the system. But around two months from the installation, the system started to freeze unexpectedly. Nothing in the logs, nothing anywhere, just an endless beep when I touch a key on the console. The system is running ipfw and ipnat, a squid cache, a dns server and a mail exchanger. It's a firewall for our network at the university. Suspecting a hardware problem I completely changed it several times. Same problem. The crashes occur at various distances in time. Some days there may be 3 or 4, or,... there are even a whole week without any problem. Well, I don't know what to do anymore. Could anyone give me a hint? Regards, Adrian PS: If more details concerning the versions of the packages running are needed I will gladly provide them. ____________________________________________________________ Adrian ISTRATE Junior Lecturer - Network & Systems Administrator University "Dunarea de Jos" Galati Computer Science and Engineering Department Home email: Adrian.Istrate@ugal.ro email: aistrate@elia.ro ____________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
