That's why I always try to set up logged serial console for any machine with more than marginal importance. BTW, comms/conserver-com port is of great use for this purpose! I assumed here that usually you have more than one machine per physical location; otherwise, I'd set up remote logging, preferrably to two different machines via two different interfaces, but such ideal network design is *rarely* reqchable ;-) Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
