Subject:   help ?? FBSD box crashing 
Message-ID:  <000701c1f821$1ec4aea0$37b4a8c0@pretorian>

Im currently running a FBSD 4.3 duel 550 MHz  w/ SMP enabled ..
Its running IPFW w/ NAT  ..email services....webhosting... and a number of
other services..
however the thing is far from working hard.... the load on the machine is
minimal..i have about
15 users on it ..at most with about 3% load average

My problem is that out of no where ....when it fist happened ...it would  be
running for a bout a week ...then it would reboot ..and it wqould have
problems syncronizing the disks...and would hang till i ran "fsck" ...now it
is  rebooting ...about 2 - 3 times  day
I cant find whats causing it ...as far as i can telll it hasnt been
compromised....when it reboots ..it
comes back up as normal ..I keep a good eye on the thing everyday.

Its worth saying I had a FBSD machine with the same version FBSD 4.3 w/ one
processor...and it was flawless
I cant find anything in the syslog...or dmesg  or sockstat  thats out of the
ordinary...and the " last" command shows:

I can only think that theres something  with SMP ...maybe....has anyone got
any ideas??   this is a production box that
i would hate to have to redo ... THis is the first time ive run into issues
of this nature with ANY FBSD machine
ive worked or built ..or maintained..
Any an all help is greatly appreciated

Thanx
Brent
