This would have been about 4 AM. And someone connected from motherlode
around 10:40, well after the outage, but before Russ first noticed the
problem... odd...
I'll poke around more later.

I don't see a problem with the OS in the system logs. desi was up a while,
over 120 days in all;
reboot system boot Sat Nov 24 16:54
reboot system boot Fri Jul 27 06:51
I scanned the system for core files, but found none. It's too bad that
/tmp/inge.log was flushed on reboot -- we may have been able to look at the
status of the ingest card. I've modified the startup of the SSEC code to
put future inge logs in /var/tmp where they will be backed-up and will
be rotated to .old on restart.
