It has plenty of disk free. The server was freezed and I couldn't login neither local or remote. There were no activity on the ethernet card/switch.
Since I found nothing relevant in apache and bind logs, maybe it was an hardware failure (maybe memory?) is it possible?
Probably, or a lock up due to filesystem problems. What filesystems do you have. I've had quite a lot of problems with reiserfs and jfs (from what I've seen on other lists, many peoplo too). When you rebooted the machine, did it fsck any partition? Any core dumps? You say it only has DNS and Web services available to the Internet, what about to your own LAN?

Hi all,
Last night my SuSE 8.0 server went down (freezed).
The only service available to the internet is www (tcp/80) and dns (udp/53),
so today I've been checking the logs but found nothing, no errors, no strange lines, it was like someone pulled the electricity cable.
Did it freeze or did it shutdown?
Is there any place other than /var/log where I could check what really happened?
First thing that comes to my mind is: could you have run out of disk space?
df -h
