Intresting Behavior

[Colin Ansel Rasor]

I have been noticing some things that are very intresting to me
that I am not able to decipher. I have been having a lot
segmentation faults. last night I had a seg fault with the "passwd"
program today a seg fault with "mount".Any pointers in the right
direction on how to handle this would be great. This machine has run
headless for a few months then today I plugged a monitor and
keyboard into it and it wont let anybody log into it from the console
only through ssh. I also have not been seeing any connections DENY's
from IPCHAINS and I usually see at least 35 a day.
