Hello. My box has been running flawlessly for months now, but in the last 2 days hasn't stayed up for more than 5 minutes. All this seemed to have started after I did a very very bad thing......

After carefully read the configuration,

I am testing EXT3 as a filesystem for a server whose power supply is failure prone. In order to do the test, I have a lever that I can control from PC1 that can press the reset button on PC2. PC2's reset button is automatically pressed once every 120 seconds (the boot sequence on PC2 takes 80 seconds). While PC2 is booted, PC1 directs email and web requests at PC2, so that the PC2 disks are

Got an older server here, running CentOS 6.6 (64-bit). Suddenly, at 0-dark-30 yesterday morning, we had failures to connect. After several tries to reboot and get working, I tried yum update, and that failed, complaining of an python krb5 error. With more investigation, I discovered that logins were failing as there was a problem with pam; this turned out to be it couldn't open
