I assume you have a fair amount of physical RAM if you are running a news server. That is probably not the problem. If you are crashing in the "fsck -p" in /etc/rc, I would probably try: csh -c "unlimit; exec fsck -p" as a way to circumvent the per process memory limit that you may be running into. You can probably stick that right into /etc/rc in place of the current fsck -p. ... JG
