RE: [cobalt-users] [RAQ4] Server Stops Responding everyday -(regular freezes)

[Shannon Brooks <shannon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Stephan is describing the same problem I am having on my RAQ3. I see 
the same messages in the log....

a broken pipe from telnetd over and over, every fifteen minutes. The 
cron.quarter-hourly runs parts, but I cannot see it in the directory. 
Also the local ftp session closed message.


MESSAGES
Dec 23 11:00:07 bosnia telnetd[23074]: ttloop:  read: Broken pipe

I do not think this is a log rotation issue. The server has very few 
sites and gets almost no traffic. It is a development server and has 
no mission critical sites on it. Any advice would be greatly 
appreciated.
