    why would x-windows crash?

    i had a server RHEL4 logged into gnome. worked fine for months. transferred a shitload of data to it and logged in many new users. last computer i had cleaned coolwebsearch etc a lot of shit off it (goddam employee pron surfing) then connected it to the server. shitty connection. appears the tcpip stack or something is toast from the spyware. gonna reinstall and caution the employee. i went to the server room and gnome had stuck, no mouse or kbd. server was happily serving meanwhile. i rebooted via webmin and was ok.

    i have to deal with this on monday. checking through the logs. they are on default logging so i dont know what i will see.

    i was thinking that the employees computer with bad tcpip maybe did something to the server? kinda worried about this. what do you think? is this server no go.

      Just don't use X on server.
      Might be video problems (especially if you use binary nvidia or ati driver).

          Troubleshooting of redundant F750E-S0 Dell PowerEdge Server
          by omega
          Hello all,
          as a beginner electronics hobbyist, after a few years I would like to place another post on this Forum section, given that I did not succeed in finding any useful advice among the other posts.

          Over the last years, I have been using a PowerEdge Dell Server with two redundant PSUs, namely the 750W F750E-S0 ones (aka 06W2PW). Unfortunately, last summer one of them failed (perhaps owing to an overheating), and the server had for working to take into account the other one only. Of course I opened and tried to troubleshoot the failed PSU, but each cap I tested seemed to...

          Windows 2016 server L2TP/IPsec VPN - two subnets
          by Fireballcz
          Hello, please how to properly configure VPN in this environment?
          I have two subnets in two different (geographical) workplaces, connected via IPsec (thru gateway routers)
          Main subnet: 192.168.11.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.11.1, Windows 2016 server (VPN, DHCP, DC etc.) 192.168.11.3
          2nd subnet : 192.168.22.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.22.1 - just client computers.

          I need to allow external (home office) users connect via VPN server (192.168.11.3) to the 2nd subnet (192.168.22.0/24) to their computers (via RDP).
          I have no problems with VPN connection...

          Server Upgrade?
          by ratdude747
          I'm pushing 5 years on my current server and I'm thinking it may be time for some sort of an upgrade.

          The main issue I'm having is random ATA errors locking the system up at the most inopportune times. Probably the PATA to SATA adapter (I have a few more NOS ones on the shelf I could toss at it) but honestly I'm thinking an old "early" socket 940 board is a retro rig in 2023 and ough to be retired.

          The question for me is how much of an upgrade should I shoot for? The main issue I have to deal with is if I keep my chassis, the backplane is 16x SATA. Not SAS....
