Hello all, I recently upgraded my computer from FreeBSD 4.4 to 4.6.2. I read the UPDATE file and believe I took care of all the necessary things listed. Prior to upgrading, I had zero problems with the operating system in over 9 months...only rebooting when power failures were immanent or when I was unsure how to restart/reload something I had changed a config file for. Since my upgrade, I have had some major hangs. Probably 2-3 per week. I can't figure out what is causing this problem. I have read through numerous files in my /var/log/ directory with no luck on narrowing down possible causes. I can't really determine a pattern, but it definitely isn't due to an overloaded system (at least on my part). I have signs of people trying to get into the system (with sniffer scripts) in my firewall logs, but all seem to be looking for a Windows machine and appear to move on to the next host so I don't believe it is an intruder.. Because of this and the fact that I had no problems prior to upgrading, I am led to believe that I have screwed something up again. Once again, I am running FreeBSD 4.6.2 with XFree86 4.2. I am willing to send any information necessary, but am unsure of what is appropriate/helpful due to the situation. Does anybody have *any* idea what my problem could be? Thanks in advance for any help, Thomas Kersten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
