Just a quick question. Tonight our DNS server dropped core after several other program misbehaved. Chief amoung then was one of our own. The problems thought seems to be more than one misbehaving programs. Along with DNS the machines runs, LiveCam, our video over the internet solution, NCSA webserver (part of LiveCam), Apache (port 8080) and Mason. The machine went into a spin when LiveCam swamped the swap space, then some tried to send email via Apache/mason. Eventually, named also dumped core. The machine is reset. I've turned off direct access to Apache/Mason. The machines is now fine. Granted one (very buggy) part of our LiveCam has problems, but along with Mason, it seems that the problems are hard to trace. The question is: How do we diagnos (sp?) random core dumps? I've seen quite a few go by in last days. And up till now we usually ask for a dmesg and one other thing. Any comments? Jessem.
