We get a SERVFAIL. Are you using NetworkManager? (A really bad idea for a server.) And has an interface gone off-line and back on again? There's a common problem with an awful lot of services that if their network interface goes down, then up again, or just isn't up before they first start up, that they don't use that interface. The workaround is to restart such services whenever NetworkManager changes state with a script in the /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ directory. The issue of services breaking after network connections going up and down isn't exclusive to NetworkManager, but it seems to make the situation worse. At the moment, I've got scripts in there for NTP and sendmail, since those services on this laptop are affected by that problem. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
