I was having a quick gawk at the machines. They are running 2.4.24-grsec
with random things turned on that shouldn't be. I'm sure this can't help
us much. The UniSFA machine is running 2.6.3 and seems to be a lot more
stable. At some point I will build them a copy of 2.6.6 (without crack
like grsec). We'll see how that goes.
