:So far, one of my servers, a BSD 3.2-R machine, has mysteriously crashed
:twice this week. This machine functions as a gateway and firewall to our
:internet connection, so it's the most visible host here. I use ipfw to
:block pretty much all the low ports except those we really need, such as
:ssh, ntp, smtp, etc...
:
:I don't see anything in the logs indicating what might have happened.
:
:Not only that, but ipfw *refuses* to log to syslog on this box!?! My
:/etc/syslog.conf is an exact copy of the same file on another machine
:which DOES correctly log ipfw.
:
:Any ideas?
The very first thing I would do is upgrade the machine to 3.4-R.
