Several failures seem to have coincided with crontab jobs and I have never had the system crash while I was logged on the the system directly. Either I was logged in over the net or was not logged in at all. Due to the holiday (in the US), is did not have an opportunity to do anything other then reboot it. I hope to have time to connect a laptop to the console so I can record everything that happens to submit. This si clearly not a common problem. What hardware do you have? Mine is an Athlon64-4400+ on an MSI mobo with 1GB of RAM. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
