Hi, i found out, that there are no entries about a shut down in /var/log/messages . is it normal for a hard shut down or is it a hacker?

...

sorry if I am offtopic, but I am not sure why my co-located server shuts down abruptly. This is the second time, the first time it needed a file system check, and in the logs there was an entry that someone startet a X. auth (or so) ?

You don't need to be sorry if you're offtopic, you need to stop writing mails that are offtopic.

...

I use Suse 7.2, kernel 2.4.7, proftpd 2.2.4rc2 (newest), apache 1.3.19, sendmail 9.1.2, sshd (prot 2 +1!!!) i alsouse a IDE RAID Controller from 3ware, which hasn't caused any trouble yet...

We will issue a kernel announcement today or tomorrow. For now, install 2.4.16 from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel/ and see if it goes away.

My guess is that your 3ware controller and your disks suck too much electric power from the power supply, or there is another hardware bug. Security implications are possible, but why would a cracker reboot your system?

...

Is this problem know to someone ? sorry, this is getting very annoying ;-(

thanks so far. Gero

Roman.
