Answer / rahul wandile

Checking the logs is a good idea always.
Now for which server we need to check should be clear.
mail server --> /var/log/mail/maillog [RedHat,centos]
ssh --> /var/log/secure
apache --> /var/log/http/access.log
nfs alrady told also check in /var/log/ folder
samba and nis dont know excatly.

Also check the syslog level and the perticular server log
informations.[Eg: Tomcat keeps log in
$CATALINA_HOME/log/catalina.out which if different then
linux logs]
