Why does Xcalibur get stuck? How? Please be more specific. Can you ping it?

You should get log entries when the NIS connection is lost and regained. > hmmm we (I personally) suspected Xcalibur's > NIC (Network Interface Card) but... then I was enlightened > somehow and in one of those "crashes" I went to the > Xcalibur console and thought about restarting the nfsd's > but..
