I run a server for a school:  email (sendmail), web server, mailscanner
(Sophos), Calendar (BrownBear Calcium)  - Hardware was new in Jan.
Dell:  dual Pent, 1 gig ram, Raid 5 (4 x 18 gig),
RedHat 7.2 - Krud Jan version (Krud is an update service that sends out a
new install of the current RedHat every month so that if you install you
have the latest versions)

I've had 5 crashes - 2 in the last 2 days.  The other 3 happened between Jan
and May.  Traffic is very light as school has been out since May.

I get a screen dump.  Can still ping the machine, but no email or web
traffic.  I can't log on remotely or locally when this happens.

Reading the logs.  Messages, Maillog, SA (sar), Secure, xferlog, cron, httpd
tells me nothing out of the usual.  Nor can I see a pattern.

I could really use suggestions for logically troubleshooting / isolating
this intermittent problem.
I could use tips in looking for anomalies in log files.
I could use tips in telling whether someone is tampering with my machine.
( I'm not paranoid, but am willing to consider anything.)

Thank you!,
Norm
