hi (again) -
Well, on closer inspection 'ps aux' reveals one solitary suspicious
process that's being run by 'nobody' which is what our http daemon
runs as:
PID TTY S TIME CMD
15125 ?? < 0:00.00 <defunct>
I'm going to guess that this is causing the problem so it'll have to be a
reboot to clear the problem.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
john
