production use was an old AXPpci w/ 21064 (or was that a 21066?) at 166 MHz as ftp server. it suddenly started to crash a lot while it was only doing so occasionally during nightly backups before. since it was so old, it might just got bitten by dead ram or the like, I didn't care to elaborate and used a spare netra to replace it -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
