Howdy!

	I am running 4.3R, on a new server which after being up for
3 days had to be rebooted because of some kind of file/buffer 
corruption(I think??)

	After  about 10 days I got a wierd read/write error and
then by chance I discovered the following in the output of sysctl -a

 machdep.msgbuf: :53 from 192.168.20.8:2217

	Also, what is this stuff doing in the output of sysctl -a?  HOw
do I get it into syslog?




	This is some stuff from dmesg.boot

For your further enjoyment this is disklabel. Is it OK to have
swap starting at the beggining of  the disk?

# /dev/da0c:

	Any ideas what to check? Hardware issue? I have terminiated the
sym0 device in its BIOS and have a terminator on the cable. Bad idea?


	thanx - steve
