Actually my FBSD machine is acting more in a server capacity and x was not running at all. To my knowledge all that was running (other than the usually daemons) was named, squid, one session of epic (irc), ppp -alias -ddial, and samba. This is all I can think of at the moment, I am not AT the machine at the moment I am at work so I can have a more detailed list of what processes I run if the need be. The machine acts as the gateway to the internet for my little at home LAN. The main point is, though, what can I do/look/read/find, that will help me to troubleshoot this issue and further issues with the machine. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary Kline [SMTP:kline@tera.com] > Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 1999 3:58 PM > To: ChrisMic@sbservices.com > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: General Lockup Troubleshooting. > > According to Christopher Michaels - SSG: > > Hello, > > I have a machine with 2.2.8 installed and it has appeared to lock up > twice > > on me since I upgraded.
