unless i specifically said i upgraded the kernel, i didnt. the remote web server, the print server, and the masq gateway are all minimal 6.0 installs, with the stock kernels. was kinda my point, that i'd been getting similar problems accross different hardwares and different kernels...:) Rocky.

For some boxes you only write "SuSE 6.0", but don't mention the kernel version. I assume you use some 2.2.x kernel on all of them. Right?

Could you please downgrade one of the machines to kernel 2.0.36 and see if the problem persists? I'm quite sure the problem is kernel related, but I cannot confirm this sort of problem here. We have lots of machines running 2.2.7 and 2.2.5.

Our servers running 2.0.36 almost all have uptimes of more than 100 days.
