Hi all.
I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.8 at the local CyberCafe. The setup includes:
DUMMYNET, Limits 16 IP's to 64Kb/s
IPFW, of course.
Squid-2
Apache - for cachemgr.cgi
xntpd
sendmail
Running on a Celeron-300, 64MB
There seems to be a problem however. It has now rebooted itself twice
in the last 4 days for no apparent reason. The following is an excerpt
from /var/log/messages:

I've looked for the "neg refs" error on the mailing lists, but have
had no clear outcome as to what the cause is, with perhaps the
exeption of a memory error - or could it be the processor?
Can anyone perhaps explain this? I'm a bit confused.
