I am experiencing the same sysptoms on my servers.  Nothing that I can see to blame, but my utilization goes up to about 49-50% and people stop being able to login.   Server processes do go up from say a usually of about 30-40 up to around 80-90 before server stops responding. Only fix is rebooting.   Getting very annoying and have been considering calling Novell on issues.

In regards to the freezing servers, Do any of you by any chance notice a
slow but steady increase in service processes at the same time ?

I would be very interested as I have this symptom every so often. Debug
allways refers to LSL.NLM being the culprit, but I doubt that it really is.

I'm at 5.1 SP1. Server (only 1) every so often stops responding to users.
Checking the server shows the server operational, but there is a sure but
steady increase in service processes. Checking kernel info shows server (of
course) taking the most memory (around 4 or 5 megs) and nothing unusuall.

Only a reboot of the server fixes this.

Hmmmmmmm
