hello,
I have a DEC 3000-300M machine with 64 MbRAM and 166MHz and D.U. 3.2 O.S.
Sometimes the sistem did not respond to any commands (I cannot even enter
as root) and I do not received any message. I try to find some traces in
message, daemon, kernel files bu I did not found anything. Also there was
no user programs that ocupy more CPU time or VSZ. I only find something in
mail.log file:

HERE WAS THE PROBLEM.....

May 28 12:33:19 alpha1 ipop3d[19721]: Kiss of death user=edimit host=UNKNOWN

This is not the first time. Have someone any idea of what could happened here ?.
Could some one tell me what the last message (Kiss of ...) means?
Thanks.
