Hi, Per the recommendation, I had the system administrators have removed the 
cover and cleanse the dust.  They also noted an error with the server, it is 
as follows:  The following error was printed on the screen, it appears the 
server utilized all the console buffer space making keyboard interaction 
impossible.
    vm_fault: pager read error, pid 1 (init)

Does this mean anything to anyone? any suggestions?

===========
Sounds like hardware problems caused by overheating.
Open the PC cover and blow out all the dust.
Leave cover off and see if problem reoccurs.

I'm a newbie running FreeBSD (I believe it's 4.4... am at the moment
unable to check, as the computer is down) to host some of my websites.� I
sent a query to this mailing list before about receiving some errors when
trying to access my website, after which, ssh would stop logging me into the
server ("Connection closed by [server ip]"), and all web pages would bring
up a "Forbidden" error.� After this, the server would go down
completely... or at least I was unable to ping it, access it through http, 
or anything
else that I tried...

This has been happening regularly, about every 3-7 hours after the
computer is rebooted.� However, while the computer is running, I can
distinguish nothing out of the ordinary.
However, tonight, it "crashed" while i was logged in through ssh.
Suddenly, almost every command that I issued or program I tried to run came
back as "Device not configured."
e.g.:
# reboot
/sbin/reboot : Device not configured
Some things work... (lynx, ping, ps -- all seem to work fine) but
many other commands just return the "Device not configured" or "Segmentation
fault" errors.� Also very odd: ls, cd, pwd, etc. seem to work fine, but
when I ls any directory, no files come up.� It is completely blank....
Anyway, I'm very scared and at my wit's end.� The system will appear
normal once it's rebooted, but the same thing will happen within a few
hours... Any suggestions on what to look for?� Are there certain log files 
that
may contain information on this?� I think the most recent thing I did to
the server was several weeks ago, when I installed "wusage" to analyze
web logs... i had since deleted it.� Maybe something went wrong there?
I have also noticed two processes running that I hadn't seen
before:
��� 6 con� Is+��� 0:00.11 sh /etc/rc autoboot
447 con� I+���� 0:00.00 sh /etc/rc autoboot
Errors when trying to access a php/mysql driven website....

=======================================================
I then try to login via ssh... but I get "Connection closed by
[my ip]".
