However, I've noticed one strange phenomenon. Before the system hangs completely, connections to port 119 (INN 1.4unoff4) timeout whilst other services (21, 25, etc) are unaffected. Maybe it's because INN uses the disk intensively and hence hammers the SCSI code more. I'm not much of a hacker myself but are there any tests or info that I can provide to help? chris@tatooine.vader.org:/home/chris $ uname -a FreeBSD tatooine.vader.org 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Oct 16 23:57:37 BST 1996 chris@tatooine.vader.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/TATOOINE i386 Pentium 100 48Mb RAM Adaptec 2940 PCI HP 2Gb Hard Drive 4.4x CD-ROM Chris -- Chris Dabrowski chris@vader.org
