I'm the mystery person who killed the server at around 19. Before
that it was not possible to connect to the webserver (connections were
neither accepted nor refused, they just hang). kill -QUIT and kill
-TERM seemed to have no effect whatsoever.
And now the same state seems to have arisen again. Connections to
port 80 hang indefinitely without either being accepted or refused,
ssh works fine...
The very very ancient version of LogView has been started for some
reason. I don't know if it's the problem now, but in the part it has
been a sure-fire way to lock up the server on Pelix.
Trying to remember how to turn it of the correct way...
If you check that the logging is not configured to log the clients
hostname is also a good idea. The default logging method is $host on
older roxen (<5.0 I think), and that does a dns-lookup.
But that may already been taken cared of.
