Last time this happened I let it go and the server went down so I have been rebooting if I see this happening and avoid the crash. It seems to take about 25-30 days for this to occur. Has anyone seen this before? -- excerpts from security run output --- la.servername.com kernel log messages: > initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to accept, logging limited to 100 packets/entry by default la.servername.com kernel log messages: > rom ufs:/dev/ad0s1a --- - FreeBSD 4.7 running on Athlon 1.5Ghz w/256meg TIA Steve
