just an FYI.
machine died again today. heavy network load. sending out 2 large mail
lists, with lots of web traffic and a few quake servers running. this is
using the 1.20.2.10, which is the latest AFAIK. No messages like the ones
Adrey sent below appeared in the logs. Did I mention this is an SMP
server? Would that make a difference?
Any help would be great.
thanx
