Hi again all, Just an update on my problem (see below). I upgraded the box to 6.3-REL and the problem persisted -- exactly the same behaviour. I've narrowed the problem down to nfdump though -- without the NetFlow collectors (nfcapd) running, the box is rock solid. If anyone out there happens to have seen this problem (with nfdump and friends) before, or has some general advice for troubleshooting something like this (I suspect some system resource tuning may be required), please drop me a line. In the meantime, I'll head on over to the nfdump list. cheers, Dale > On Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 10:57 PM, Kris Kennaway <kris@freebsd.org> wrote: > > > > Dale Shaw wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > [...] > > > I have a vanilla 6.2-RELEASE system running a bunch of network > > > management type tools like RANCID, nfcapd, cacti and so on. > > > > > > After a few days of normal operation, the system (locked away in a > > > data centre) falls off the network.
