Instantly restart a server or workstation each day
I also administer several Tiger servers and run the same services you mention, in addition to others, and never have experienced the freeze you're talking about. I'm not even sure if it's crashed even once on any of the three Tiger machines I admin (two G4s, one xServe). These machines are all workhorses that hardly ever get a chance to catch their breath, either.
You ought to investigate what's causing the problem, because restarting the machines is not a good solution. Look closely at the logs in Console and I'm sure you'll find valuable information; also, you ought to post a message on the Apple website, too, and try to figure out what's happening. Address the problem at hand before simply restarting it, that's only a half measure that will never get at the root of the problem. Cheers, Lurch

I am glad that you are not having any problems. But I know that I am not alone with this problem.

Then let me ask: what devices do you have connected to your server? Do you have an extra machine you can do a clean install on, to see if you can duplicate the problem? My guess is a hardware problem if you're truly not seeing it in the logs. I'm on the OS X Server mailing list and I've not heard of anyone else with your problem, so I would be hesitant to conclude its a bug in the OS. Don't give up and conclude you've reached the end of the road in terms of troubleshooting, it's often something you've overlooked ag ain and again. Have you tested your RAM? Did you buy third party RAM from the same company and installed the same chips in both machines? These are (some) of the questions you need to ask...

I have previously stated that I have experienced identical behavior on two separate machines, both with identical hardware and software configurations. However, the two machines are in two separate physical locations and they are working off of two separate ISPs.

TigerKR, I hear you but I still don't think the problem is with the Tiger OS.

From the original hint: "Among other things, I administer two identical servers located in different locations on different LANs. They're running Mac OS X 10.4.2 client w/all updates..."

All that has been done and several steps beyond that. This bug doesn't seem to affect everyone, but I don't have enough test environments to trace the exact fault. However, Apple does and I've been working with their Enterprise Support group to resolve the issue. I imagine that the fix will be included in 10.4.3, but have no solid confirmation on that. |
