PE6850 and snmpd: Rebooting every Sunday

Tue Oct 3 14:52:21 CDT 2006

Ok, then lets see if OMSA has a reason to restart the servers. Can you
send us the output of `grep "Server Administrator" /var/log/messages*`?

This should give us all the events that OMSA sees and would tell us if
OMSA is rebooting the server for some reason.

Thanks,

There were all safe and sound before installing OMSA 5.0 :-). Don't
wanna blame OMSA for this but since related services are stopped we
haven't faced with the issue.

OMSA version 5.1 is released. I give it a try soon.
