When the server started crashing all the time, my wkstn would have constant segfaults and FS lockups, requiring a reboot. I shut the server down, and since not connecting to it with Samba shares or SSH, my wkstn: 10:02:59 up 16 days, 11:05, 4 users, load average: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00 Could a badly seated NIC on the server could cause another box communicating with it to complain? In any case, cross my fingers, the server looks like it's stable again.
