Unless something has changed (eg more clients or clients doing something different), this really sounds like a hardware problem. Given that you are seeing odd problems with other infrastructure, it may even be a problem of dirty power. I'd go thru the box and try re-seating everything. Can you set up a serial console? That might let you capture some information as the system dies. --=20 Peter Jeremy --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFE9T60/opHv/APuIcRAtjcAJ99EsMYgbcwW6WUWLYUNE0eIJqGEgCffPio Crhp2KAyrsBPPzva4nX9FJw= =HiCb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s--
