Bobafett reboot and new root password



Bobafett died today for the first time since I installed it in August.  It
was responding to pings, but would not allow any tcp connections.

I called Bob at SooNet, and gave him the root password to reboot it,
however, the local console was not responding, so after a hard boot we are
running again.

I can narrow the time of the crash to a 30min window between HTTP requests:

207.75.210.193 - - [21/Mar/2002:14:41:54 -0500] "GET /glimpse.pl?section=answerbook&q=who+recycles+cardboard+in+sault+ste.+marie+mi HTTP/1.0" 200 6447
192.197.114.35 - - [21/Mar/2002:15:17:36 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 22238

Unfortunately, the logs don't give me any clue as to why the machine died.
We didn't so much as see a kernel panic.  That leads me to believe we may
have a hardware issue.  I'll keep a close eye on it.

PS. After telling Bob the root password, I set a new one.  Anyone who should
have it knows my cell number.
