potato froze up

[Mathew Johnston <johnstonm@sympatico.ca>]

I have a potato box that is running samba, mysql, apache, proftpd,
Xwindows (but connects to another box to run all of its apps) and is a
masq firewall.  Last night it froze up while running a screensaver
remotely (on the other xwindows box, over the lan).  No messages in
syslog.  I'd like to stop this from happening again.  Any ideas as to
how to track downt he offending software? By froze up, btw, I mean
wouldnt accept ssh connections, etc, not just like X froze up on it's
own.   I know its just one crash, but I dont want to have to put up with
an unstable box :) (and yes, I know its probably x doing it, but x has
to run, as i dont have another spare box laying around :)


Thanks a bunch :)
