The machine is configured as a workstation and also as a mail server which exports /var/mail directory to other FreeBSD, SunOS, and Solaris workstations. Apparently, when someone reads his mail, the machine reboots automatically without any prior warning. I installed FreeBSD-3.0 because FreeBSD-2.2.5 does not include all the drivers such as the Ultra DMA driver which is needed for my Pentium II. >How-To-Repeat: When users try to access large mailbox and/or when they starts a second mail reader while an existing one is already started. Unfortunately, it is not obvious to repeat the problem :-( It would help if the FreeBSD box can report an error message before rebooting. >Fix: It would help if the FreeBSD box can report an error message before rebooting. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
