Date: 17 Jun 1996 18:44:48 -0400 Organization: ABSnet Internet Services - sales@abs.net - (410)-685-2000 Lines: 34 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <4q4n50$o3j@u1.abs.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: u1.abs.net Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:4075 news.software.nntp:23613 news.software.b:18039 I am currently running BSDi 2.1 with INN 1.4unoff4, and ran into the following of which I am unsure. The server used to run with the following stats almost constantly: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 145 news 76 4 36M 22M run 327:47 18.21% 18.21% innd I then decided to remove a bunch of groups (about 2500 groups) that nobody ever reads to shrink things down a bit (things like tw.* that aren't even readable), and to my suprise after removing all of the groups I now get the following: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 145 news 76 4 60M 24M run 405:26 18.21% 18.21% innd The size of the news (innd) process seems to have almost doubled in size, which is the exact opposite of what I would have expected to see happen. Does anyone know what caused this?? I even rebooted the server to see if it made any difference, but sure enough I get the exact same results, so I am a bit confused, though I have never claimed to understand INN.. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet : howardl@abs.net | Howard D.
