If someone is logged in Fciencias, they still have net access to everywhere, but Xcalibur gets isolated. Any user in Fciencias, loses files and noone else can login due to nis/dns failure. After a few minutes, things get back to normal, but its pretty annoying to not be able to log into Fciencias, cuz its the main mail server and web server and other stuff. hmmm we (I personally) suspected Xcalibur's NIC (Network Interface Card) but... then I was enlightened somehow and in one of those "crashes" I went to the Xcalibur console and thought about restarting the nfsd's but.. I decided to just warm-jump-start them with a killall -hup... and miracoulously things got online again... Ideas? comments? help? need config files? system specs? anything? thanks.. -- ************************************* * Marco Antonio Barbosa Santoyo * * Facultad de Ciencias, U.A.B.C. * * Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico * ************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
