Almost like clockwork, every 3 days, I have one server that starts to generate 
errors similar to below ... it isn't a 'continous thing' at the start, but 
gradually grows worse ...

Mar 20 07:59:26 mars sshd[717]: error: reexec socketpair: No buffer space 
available

As unrelated as this might sound, out of three servers that are virtually 
identical, this is the only one using gmirror for its drives vs a hardware raid 
controller, two of the three running kernels from about the same time ...

# ssh jupiter uname -a
FreeBSD jupiter.hub.org 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Fri Mar 16 13:13:02 
ADT 2007     root at jupiter.hub.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/kernel  i386

vs

# ssh mars uname -a
FreeBSD mars.hub.org 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #5: Tue Mar 13 02:29:37 ADT 
2007     root at mars.hub.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/kernel  i386

jupiter is running more on it then mars right now ...

So, I either have something mis-configured on mars that is done right on 
jupiter, or there is a bug that is being tickled on mars that isn't being 
tickled on jupiter ...

If I have a login session on the machine, I can easily do a reboot of the 
machine, and it seems to come up clean every time (ie. no fsck's need to be 
run) ...

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can look at?
