we were doing some security maintainance on the companys web/mail server, changing password, limiting ssh access and disabling some accounts... nothing special really... all was done ok
strangely in an hour or so the system started behaving wierd.... segmentation fault was reported on netstat and several other basic commands,... ssh and some services randomyl didnt worked (did, then didnt, they did again,...)
i recommended a reboot of the system,...
the server was remote and the previous admin didnt do everything the way he should really, so i tried to mount cd just in case there a cd in so we wouldnt reboot it (so that it wouldnt boot from cd)
segmentation fault again....
even service, init and stuff like that didnt do anything...
anyway reboot command worked...
but the system didnt come back online...
and now we have it here and we cant even boot...
the hardware seems fine, memory tests passed, raid state ok....
what could be the cause of this and how could i repair the error,...
tnx in advance for anything usefull
