WARNING: Imminent Server Death

My firewall is experiencing severe problems but fortunately it is still passing packets to the web server. Eventually it may die which will cut off access to the web server. I can't look at it until after work today so if it dies, please hang in there.

It isn't good when this is what you get at the shell:
[ray@ennek bin]$ sh
sh-2.05$ ls
sh: /bin/ls: Input/output error
sh-2.05$ csh
sh: /bin/csh: Input/output error
sh-2.05$ mv
sh: /bin/mv: Input/output error
sh-2.05$ exit
exit
[ray@ennek bin]$ ls
bash: /bin/ls: Input/output error
[ray@ennek bin]$ mv
bash: /bin/mv: Input/output error

Firewall? Who needs firewalls? Is the internet not safe?

Thanks for the warning Ray. Just for future reference, I wouldn't buy my software at the Shell anymore. Soft pretzles maybe, but not software.

The pretzels at the shell used to be good. now they are greasy and too salty. the dogs like the beef jerky better anyway!

Well, I was right. The firewall died around 5:30.
Turned out to be the CPU fan. It just decided to quit working and the machine overheated. I replaced the fan and everything seems to be fine now.

Sorry about the last four hours of downtime.

That's okay, it allowed me time to finish a take-home exam and a program. Thanks, Ray!
