   I have an SS2 running 1.4.3A that runs Bigbrother for my network. That
   consists of the BB server plus Apache. It seems to stay up as long as
   the power doesn't go off long enough to drain the UPS. 
   
   seahag# uname -a
   NetBSD seahag 1.4.3A NetBSD 1.4.3A (SEAHAG) #0: Mon Oct 22 19:06:00 MDT 2001     rmk@seahag:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/SEAHAG sparc
   seahag# uptime
    3:28AM  up 118 days, 16:01, 2 users, load averages: 1.76, 1.88, 1.39
   
   The worst load is browsing the web server as the CGI is all written in
   Bourne shell.


yeah.  for a Long Time, i thought my problems were somethingn local
because (a) no one else ever seemed to report anything and (b) it
happened so rarely..  i've always been aware that it's something
that some people just don't see...


and, unlike mouse, i had both user & kernel faults, the latter ending
up as panics of course.
