Hi All, I have (for some time) been experiencing a freeze issue where my FC4 machine will randomly freeze. If the problem cannot be sourced from this I may have to file a bugzilla report. The last few lines of /var/log/messages I have included below ... Are these smbd and ntpd errors 'great' enough to cause the system to freeze: Aug 22 01:27:35 earlepagestudent-31 ntpd[4634]: sendto(129.180.1.149): Bad file descriptor Aug 22 01:28:24 earlepagestudent-31 su(pam_unix)[4783]: session closed for user root Aug 22 01:28:38 earlepagestudent-31 ntpd[4634]: sendto(129.180.1.129): Bad file descriptor Aug 22 01:28:40 earlepagestudent-31 ntpd[4634]: sendto(129.180.1.149): Bad file descriptor Aug 22 01:30:01 earlepagestudent-31 crond(pam_unix)[4927]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 22 01:30:02 earlepagestudent-31 crond(pam_unix)[4927]: session closed for user root Aug 22 01:30:45 earlepagestudent-31 ntpd[4634]: sendto(129.180.1.129): Bad file descriptor Aug 22 01:30:47 earlepagestudent-31 ntpd[4634]: sendto(129.180.1.149): Bad file descriptor Aug 22 01:31:53 earlepagestudent-31 smbd[4961]: [2005/08/22 01:31:53, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1150) Aug 22 01:31:53 earlepagestudent-31 smbd[4961]: getpeername failed.
