Hi,

I wonder if anybody could advise on this issue?  We are running Coldfusion 
5 Professional on a Sun
Cobalt RaQ4 with 512Mb of RAM.

A couple of days ago we noticed that the red 'warning light' was being 
displayed in the Cobalt web
control panel alerting us to a low memory situation.  We have never 
encountered this before and
checked everything very carefully fearing that an unexpected drain on 
system resources might point
to a compromised/hacked machine.

Everything seemed fine until we ran a 'top' command in a Terminal 
window.  It revealed that several
processes were running which shouldn't be including one ('CANamingAdapter') 
which was running 5
times and collectively sucking out 85% of available memory.  A quick glance 
at the ColdFusion manual
showed that all these random processes were parts of the Enterprise edition 
of ColdFusion and as a
Professional serial number is installed they should not be running.

Trying to stop ClusterCATS and the Application Manager didn't work and 
instead we had to run:
'/opt/coldfusion/bin/cfam-start' whereupon it then told us that ClusterCATS 
was already running!  We
could then run: '/etc/rc.d/init.d/btccmgr stop' and it returned to normal.

We have just checked our other Cobalt RaQ4 (with the same spec.) and it is 
also running these extra
processes but 'CANamingAdapter' is only using about 5% of available 
RAM.  Could somebody possible
explain the following:

1.  Why is ColdFusion running as Enterprise version when it is serialised 
as Professional?  It was
installed in both cases as 'demo' mode and then serialised - is this the 
reason?

2.  How can we get it to not run these processes on boot up?  It seems to 
take from 5 to 10 minutes
for the cfserver/cfexec to start serving pages but during this time another 
glance at the 'top'
output shows that all the Enterprise processes are up and running - are 
they competing for resources
and stopping cfserver/cfexec from loading promptly?

3.  Has anybody else had similar problems like this with a Cobalt RaQ?


Many thanks.

Dave
