Update: This penguin xfs server CRASH

[Lincoln Peters]

The catalogue is over 50 lines long, and it looks like your example.  There 
were no glaring problems with it.

And yes, xfs always starts up before X, from the entry in the /etc/rc.d 
directory.  I can see xfs starting up when I start up the workstation.  
Problem is that xfs dropped dead while X was running.
