Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I've read a few messages here lately about people having unexplained crashes and have been thankful that I've not seem to much trouble. I've become increasingly convinced, however, that I AM having trouble: Approximately every two weeks, my mail/NIS/WWW server crashes with no warning, and leaves nothing in the messages file to indicate what the problem is. My system is: P/90 with 48 megs ram, NCR 825 SCSI controller, 1.2 gig SCSI-2 drive, 4 gig SCSI-2 WIDE drive I'm running a 2.1-STABLE kernel on a 2.05-R installation. It's a NIS master for another FreeBSD box, where users' home dirs are actually located. The home dirs off of the second box and an RS/6000 are NFS mounted. People can read their mail while at other machines by running an imap (pine) or POP3 (eudora) client, or they can telnet in and use pine locally. Quotas are in place on the partition mounted as /var/mail . Any ideas/theories/silly_notions why my box might decide to reboot every 2 weeks? Other than this fluke, it works great. thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
