This particular server will just hang, it no longer responds to inetd requests, ping, or keyboard input including a warm boot (cntrl, alt, del). Powering this machine down and back up results in a nominal boot up, and it seems to run fine until it locks up again in a week or 2. There are no signs of any distress in any of the system log files, the last record in the log file is usually just a lame delegation or something similar. The lock up seems to happen randomly, and has occurred during low traffic times (Sun evening) as well as high (midday midweek). It seems like a hardware problem, it's a new machine, just a few months old. The system is not giving me any clues... Any sugestions or related experience will be appreciated.
