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.) When I packed up and came home, I noticed that my SuSE system had gone through an orderly shutdown and halt. The system log (/var/messages) looks like this! Sep 4 15:29:51 davinci sshd[1784]: Accepted rsa for simmons from ::ffff:208.54.143.1 port 49912 Sep 4 15:54:53 davinci -- MARK -- Sep 4 15:59:00 davinci /USR/SBIN/CRON[2177]: (root) CMD ( rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly) Sep 4 16:14:53 davinci -- MARK -- Sep 4 16:28:32 davinci kdm[1003]: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) Sep 4 16:28:33 davinci init: Switching to runlevel: 0 Sep 4 16:28:36 davinci kernel: nfsd: last server has exited Sep 4 16:28:36 davinci kernel: nfsd: unexporting all filesystems SuSE has NEVER done this to me before. Why would something crashing in KDE shutdown my system??? ??????? Gerry Simmons linux@darykon.cet.com
