| Hi,

| No lockd, or statd here

Yes, but were they running (lockd obviously was, but how about statd)?
Note that the init.d/network script runs it only if it is present.
Neither rpc.lockd nor rpc.statd are started by inetd, they are started
from the network script if they are installed in the 'standard' place.

| Jan  4 16:50:30 marvin rpc.lockd[120]: req discard due to status monitor problem

Presumably, if this is the first message, then either statd just died,
or this was the first time lockd tried to contact statd (I don't know
enough about how lockd works to tell for sure).

If you are running 405A, there is a lockd patch in 405C for lockd,
but I don't know of one for statd dying.

| Jan  4 17:52:47 marvin unix: Killing the input queue owner

This message is printed when the vulcan death grip is used from the
console keyboard to kill the server (left ctrl, left shift, F12, keypad /,
all depressed simultaneously), and under no other circumstances.
The following message just means that the server exited.

| Jan  4 17:52:47 marvin Xsession: ori: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe)

| Jan  7 12:43:40 marvin unix: WARNING: Process [Xsgi] pid 3058 killed due to insufficient memory/swap.

This means you ran out of virtual memory.  You need to run fewer/smaller
processes, buy more memory, or add more swap space.

| 2)  Why did I get logged out of the machine?  (It _might_ be because
|     I'm using the new Lucid Emacs (19.3)).

I hope it doesn't use the key strokes I listed above!

| 3)  Any connection between 2, and 3?  Notice that I was logged out before
|     (January 4th), and didn't notice it.

I doubt there is any connection, but nobody can say absolutely
positively for sure without a lot more info.
