I set a blanktime of 300 in /etc/sysconfig. After which, my server would crash if left unattended for 5 minutes after booting. (or 5 minutes after the last time I touched the keyboard). I set the blanktime back to NO, and all is well again. go figure... just another sleepless night for me... (an hour of frustration, trot back up to work, sit with the machine for an hour and all seems well. Go back home, and it's doing it again. Back to work, back home. Some serious head scratching... BINGO, must be that damn blanktime thing... :) Laters, Troy -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net ( Stuff I said does not reflect the company I work ) ( for unless I'm speaking on behalf of said company )
