Hello All,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to be sending this or not but I
figured I'd give it a shot.
The subject line pretty much says it all, I have a Dell Poweredge 650 box
running 6.1-PRERELEASE which was cvsup'd on April 5, 2006. The box has
now twice rebooted on its own for no aparant reason. Its a fresh install
as well, and appears to have been doing this ever since it was installled.
The first time the box was only up for approximently 2 days and rebooted,
the 2nd time it was up for approximently 10 days. I have all.log setup to
log all syslog messages however when the reboot occured there is no
information in the log which indicates anything going wrong... Here is a
small cut from the log at the time of the reboot. As can be seen, one
minute there is an imapd process, the next entry is the system restarting.

ip=[::ffff:WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ], headers=0, body=0, time=0

This machine previously had Linux installed on the box and did not display
the same problems, so I'm going on the assumption that its not a hardware
failure.
Aside from the reboots the box has been preforming extermely well.
If anybody can provide some insights or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate
it.
Thanks,
Matt Watson
