I have a freebsd maschine running for more 6 months without any problems. the machine's only service is to be an openvpn gateway for a hand of users. 2 weeks ago the first problems started. the openvpn exited with signal 11 and 4 and core dumps were written. the same happend yesterday with the postfix/cleanup process, and the suddenly the machine rebooted without any further log messages. what is the best way to troubleshoot the cause of this problem? greetz olli
