TUX: error -98 binding sock...

[SoNNy at PrisonServer.com]

Hello all. I have more information on this issue.

My TUX version:
[root at neuron ~]# rpm -qa | grep tux
tux-3.2.18-2

I had to return to Apache handling all requests after more than four panics exactly the same:

from /var/log/messages:

The server details:

CentOS release 4.2 (Final)
Linux version 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp (buildcentos at x8664-build)
(gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2))
#1 SMP Thu Oct 27 13:14:25 CDT 2005

This server performed well with TUX using kernel 2.4 and CentOS 3.6. No hardware changes were made.

Thank you for any point out on this.

Regards,

Juan
