Have you checked your logs? Are there any indications of something going terribly wrong? Maybe someone has remotely exploited your box and is rebooting it just to be a bastard? New machines are not always perfect. In fact, I consider them untested. I've installed plenty of machines at work that didn't work right out of the box. So, hardware problems cannot be ruled out just by saying the machine is new. -- Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
