The systems with more load (news vs no news) crash more often. Not to discount your problems, but I've got 3 boxes used very heavily that *aren't* seeing any problems (except for NFS bugs which I believe David and John are aware of), so I'm trying to figure out what's different about your setup vs. mine. What kind of hardware, what kind of setup (NFS, routers, SLIP/PPP), what kind of problems are these boxes running. > These are *very* stock systems where the operating system is concerned. > Kernels have been recompiled to eliminate drivers not in use, but that is > it.

Obviously the boxes *must* be on somewhat of a loaded network if you're running News. :) Can you give more specific details, since w/out them it's just shooting in the dark? Nate
