Thanks for the response. OK, maybe a little less basic than that. The system is sitting in a restricted access server room. Not a clean room, but very little dust. Nice and cool.. The system still looks brand new, inside and out. The purpose of this system is to receive streaming video data over the VPN from IP webcams. It doesn't do anything with the data except pass it on to a DVR system over the local network. Plans are to add another network card so the VPN and the local network will be on separate channels. But, for now, it all goes through one card. It has worked in this configuration for over a month with video from 2 cameras coming in. Oops! Message from Joachim Schipper just came in: There were no console messages The authlog does show that someone is trying to brute force an ssh login. I think I'll turn off sshd for now...
