My Oracle boxes that rebooted were running RAC (version 10G R2), too. Another Solaris 10 box running the same version of Oracle, but not RAC, did not reboot.

Either patch or don't run NTP on Oracle servers. --------- typedef struct me_s { char name[] = { "Thomas Habets" }; char email[] = { "thomas@habets.pp.se" }; char kernel[] = { "Linux" }; char *pgpKey[] = { "http://www.habets.pp.se/pubkey.txt" }; char pgp[] = { "A8A3 D1DD 4AE0 8467 7FDE 0945 286A E90A AD48 E854" }; char coolcmd[] = { "echo '. ./_&. ./_'>_;. ./_" }; } me_t;
