When playing around with on a private irc server one day, I rebooted a FreeBSD 2.2.5-stable web server which I am the assistant sys-admin. Thinking this was a fluke, I tried it again, and it happened again. I looked at my current system limits (limits -h in a tcsh shell) and found my file descriptors were limited to 4142. I loaded ircII (2.9-roof) with purepak.irc 2.07. I then did: /bot massmake 1000 Blah servername. After about 2 minutes the machine rebooted again. I have tested this with 2 other freebsd machines (2.2.5-stable and 2.2.6-stable) with the same success. When my descriptors where tuned down from above 200, I would not crash it anymore. -=----------------------------------------------------- Daniel Harris MIS Assistant - Digital Techniques, Inc. daniel.harrisat_private -=-----------------------------------------------------
