Hi Folks,

I have Solaris 7 installed on SUN Ultra Sparc 450 with 512 MB RAM, my
machine is rebooting automatically after 2/3 days. I noticed the
creation of core files in /var/crash/hostname/ directory with a huge
size, like unix.core etc. Could anyone suggest me how to rectify/trace
the problem and how can I to fix it. The machine is having 2 interface
cards installed and Raptor firewall is running. It has made me crazy
because /var filesystem gets full and I have to delete these file to
get things back to normal.

Thanks in advance

Just make sure there are no Pakistanis around. Hehehe. Sorry couldn't resist
it. I hope the fighting has stopped in Kashmir.

What you are seeing is a kernel core dump. You have to use adb or crash on
it to see what the panic string is. Just look up man crash, and then type
stat. You can probably post the output and maybe someone can help out.
