I have a potato box that is running samba, mysql, apache, proftpd, Xwindows (but connects to another box to run all of its apps) and is a masq firewall. Last night it froze up while running a screensaver remotely (on the other xwindows box, over the lan). No messages in syslog. I'd like to stop this from happening again. Any ideas as to how to track downt he offending software? By froze up, btw, I mean wouldnt accept ssh connections, etc, not just like X froze up on it's own. I know its just one crash, but I dont want to have to put up with an unstable box :) (and yes, I know its probably x doing it, but x has to run, as i dont have another spare box laying around :)
Thanks a bunch :) Mathew Johnston
