[cobalt-users] RAQ 3 ns kernel: VM

[Render-Vue <sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yah,

Anyone know what might have caused this sudden loss of Virtual memory - I'm 
assuming that's what the VM stanads for.

Can't go top as the moment has passed :(

At 06:04:25 ns syslogd 1.3-3: restarted and then this lot appeared.
Checked other logs and the most prominent explaination might have come from 
my snort logs....

632 attacks from 210.86.85.218 to xxx.xxx.79.186 WEB-MISC http directory 
traversal
283 attacks from 210.86.85.218  to xxx.xxx.79.186 WEB-FRONTPAGE author.exe 
access

The begining of the attacks started at 06:13 - could this have choked the 
server up? It's sitting with 128Mb ram and there are no heavy duty sites or 
resource guzzlers on it.

Many thanks in advance
