On one side of it was a the flat/touch panel, and the idea was that it was a complete machine that could be installed into a wall - how cool is that? So when we needed to upgrade, I got my hands on it, and thought it would make a cool firewall to install into the wall of phone/ethernet panel in my basement. I installed two ISA 3com cards and FreeBSD 5.3, everything seemed to work fine, but just to be safe I left it to run for a while. I came back a few days later and it had locked up... So I restarted it, and logged in as root, ran top - and let it go for a few days. Alsways a lockup, I've now done this a few times and it seems to happen at 5 days, 1 hour and roughly 40 minutes. Without fail, after 5 days I'll come downstairs and find it locked up at 5 days, 1 hour, etc... I'm at a loss as to why, I'm no expert with the crontab, so maybe I'm missing something. But I'm looking for ideas, thanks. =20 Richard =20
