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.
Thanxs,
Mark
