I don't know what's happening here. Around the time that I moved to
NetBSD 1.3 (from 1.3_ALPHA) my system started hanging. It dies anywhere
from 15 minutes to 8 hours after booting. It still responds to pings
however. Sometimes (perhaps always - we usually get down to reboot it)
it reboots an hour or so later. I'm running the same version at home
and I don't have this problem so I suspect some sort of DOS attack but
I can't figure out what kind. Does anyone recognize these symptoms?
If anyone thinks they can find the problem and is interested in helping
I can give you an account on the system. I also have core dumps to
go through. We are running an AMD K6 so it isn't the Pentium halt bug.
I usually hang about #netbsd on efnet if you want to talk there.
Thanks.
