But on a system with 20MB of RAM and 60 MB of swap I have those limits: datasize 16384 kbytes stacksize 512 kbytes memoryuse 17444 kbytes memorylocked 5816 kbytes So INN can't use more than 17 MB ; even if 0 Bytes of swap are used. And to fork off nnrpd you need the double of innd's size so without unlimiting innd can be at max 8,5 MB ... -- Heiko W.Rupp hwr@pilhhuhn.de INN FAQ can be found in ftp://ftp.xlink.net/pub/news/docs/
