My vps keeps down for the past 3 consecutive days and I had to reboot to bring the server back. After talking to my vps provider, they told me that there's nothing wrong on their end. So I did a little investigation on my end.

I have looked at my /var/log/messages, and found out that

Mar 30 05:00:09 servername lfd[25945]: SYSLOG check [IeQTp8WgxW22eMM0fVycJZlaj71N]
...
Mar 31 05:00:08 servername lfd[15753]: SYSLOG check [rixmECu0aprLJxalJwh]
after logging the lfd SYSLOG check on May 30, 31 and Apr 1, there won't be any other log (and server died unless it got rebooted)

So it must have something to do with lfd.

The thing is, lfd (csf firewall) was installed on my server for quite some time (almost a year) and it was fine until May 30.

I don't want to live without lfd, I can try uninstall then reinstall, but other than that is there anything I can do to find out what part of lfd caused the problem and fix it?

please advise.

I have the same problem. Started at march 29. When uploading a number of files by FTP my VPS blocks and I need to manually restart the server. Sometimes when the server is restarting the system shuts down again when starting CSF.

last nite I have temporary disabled the firewall, it was fine, no downtime.

I guess I will keep an eye on my server, or maybe have it enable for the weekend to see what happen.
