Hi, We had a power failure at the datacenter we colocate at, and all our servers went down. One is acting up ever since. It rebooted but wasn't accessible. I tried to log in via our KVM and got the login/pass, but when it did the /etc/motd and rest it locked up. CTRL-C and CTRL-\ didn't do anything. The remote KVM could C-A-D and the machine rebooted. Once it rebooted it seemed ok, but then locked up again while in use. The odd thing was I remembered to try CTRL-T, and got : load: 0.00 cmd: login 1188 [sysctl lock] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 176k on the session I was trying to log in on, and on the session I was doing a tail, I saw : load: 0.00 cmd: tail 2013 [proctree] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 0k I could tab between VTYs, but logins wouldn't accept input, and I couldn't C-A-D this time around. I could telnet to a special port on it for monitoring and get a reply, but SSH/sendmail didn't reply. Its a FreeBSD 5.5 (I can't upgrade it, sorry).... Any clues what to look for? Thanks, Tuc
