[rhn-users] redhat 3.0 AS seems to stop responding periodically when running rhnsd

[Michael Belanger]

When I run up2date manually, it gave me conflicting packages of 
something called laus... and appeared to hang..

I removed mozilla and tried to force the removal of the laus package in 
favor of the one being requested by up2date.  Eventually, up2date ran 
successfully and installed about 15 new packages.

Was it this conflict that caused it to hang?  WHY did it cause my system 
to become unresponsive?  Is this a known issue?

After this experience, I am wary of restarting the daemon.  This is one 
of our more important servers.

Anyone have any clues -- or also seeing this behavior?
