I'd like to take the errors one at a time and explore the most important first (hopefully): Jun 30 20:22:03 juno /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space Jun 30 20:22:27 juno /kernel: pid 12548 (sh), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space This looks like a particularly nasty one. :-> Here's a df of my partitions: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0s1a 31743 22734 6470 78% / /dev/wd0s1f 825055 741859 17192 98% /usr /dev/wd0s1e 29751 4423 22948 16% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc As a consequence of the above errors (I think), my machine locks up from time to time. About once a week or so. No keyboard input accepted, no mouse input accepted, can't move to a virtual console, can't telnet in. When I try and telnet in, I get "no route to host" messages, as though the box doesn't exist on my home network. Does this call for a reinstall at this point? The other related problem is that I have great problems trying to compile stuff. Jun 30 22:50:17 juno /kernel: pid 17820 (cc1), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) I guess I run out of virtual memory at this point and compiles exit with an error. Same happens with inetd-wrapped processes, like: Jul 2 01:00:02 juno /kernel: pid 724 (cron), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core dumped) Jul 2 06:28:04 juno /kernel: pid 1169 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 4 Jul 2 06:28:04 juno inetd[135]: /usr/libexec/comsat[1169]: exit status 0x4 But maybe I should stick to this swap problem first.... All help appreciated! -- David S. Jackson Don't you feel more like you do now than you did when you came in?
