Dear Juan Carlos,

I hope your problem won't be a regular issue and you don't see it again.
I don't expect to see it again soon. The machine runs rock solid for a year now without any trouble. Years ago, it happened from time to time that services just died after some time (months?), but I think this doesn't happen any longer. I don't know if this comes from the more decent hardware we are using these days or from better software.
All of the servers I've installed have a few tools by default to make tests in this cases (tcpdump (wireshark if gui), iptraf, iptables/pf,netcat,sysinternals(windows),...) and have a monitoring packages (Nagios/Ntop) in other machine to obtain data.
Sounds like a good idea. I will put some tools on the machines.
again, thanks for your help!
