[cobalt-users] Strange Server went down but syslog still running

[Chae <chae@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yah,

At 1.35am this morning the server died on us, it stopped serving email, 
http, ftp etcetera

By the time we'd been notified a couple of hours had gone by - couldn't get 
in via SSH so resorted to the remote reboot switch within 5 minutes we were 
up and running again.

The servers been patched to the max with all the latest and greatest except 
the patch for the latest SSL vulnerability.

When I checked all the logs I noticed that the server was still running 
because active monitor was still generating it's 15 min checks and even 
mailscanner switched itself down and restarted. Yet nothing else running? 
Went through all the logs and nothing obvious standing out - it just died 
:( When all the queued up mail started to filter through the logcheck 
reports showed exactly the same as the server logs, active monitor was 
working fine every 15 mins and nothing else was.

Anyone got any clue as to why it would have died on us, server is a RaQ3i

Regards

Chae
