Lines: 83 Message-ID: <33AE8F93.41C67EA6@club-web.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 207.176.196.12 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:43363 Hello all, I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, or if there is a cure to it. I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.1, the only upgrades ( i can remember doing) to the standard install is pop3 support with popper, upgraded to sendmail 8.8.6 and apache 1.2. The machine has 128 megs of ram and I have compiled support for it in my kernel. The problem is, when booting i have about 10-15 me usage.. three or four days later it has taken all the memory, degrading the performance of the system. Lastly, here are some screen dumps of top and ps aux.
