Some =20 stuff worked (DNS for example, this box runs bind), altough the IMAP =20 server didnt work to well... Anyway, I checked out local console: maxproc limit exceeded by uid 0, please see tuning(7) and login.conf(5). Repeated 23 times... I was not able to do anything, neither local or remote, ACPI didnt =20 work very well except for giving me acpi: suspend request ignored (not ready yet) the second time I pressed the power button... So a hard reboot it was. Anyway.. I'm using default login.conf, which have unlimited for all =20 resource limits.. So wtf is this? As far as I know there shouldnt be any processes running away but you =20= never know... The only thing would be a "umount -f /some/nfs" and a =20 "df -h" running (the umount as root) but both hanged since the NFS =20 volume was unreachable, but why would this fork like this? Dunno what more info could be useable, doesnt have much more in logs... Str=F6m=
