Brian, that's why you didn't get any answers for your question. You didn't
provide much information about your system but what we got was just
looking as there is something fundamentally wrong with your box. And now
that we hear VPS and such, things become clear. I'm sure this will all be
sorted out once the box is running again like a normal system.
