Has anyone else seen this??? I just upgraded to SuSE 8.2 from SuSE 7.3, and I was logged in remotely via ssh (actually, at a Starbucks via 802.11.) I lost me connection to the 801.11 Access Point, and when I got logged back on, my SuSE 8.2 machine would not respond. When I got home, I noticed that my SuSE system had gone through an orderly shutdown and halt. The system log (/var/messages) looks like this!

Why would something crashing in KDM shutdown my system??? And a better question might be why is KDM even involved with an external ssh session? Gerry Simmons linux@darykon.cet.com
