(clug-talk) IPcop

[Kevin Anderson]

Just a note to everyone, IPcop is trying to track down a suspected memory leak.   They suspect it to be either in Squid or Snort.   Obviously, it can have a serious affect on smaller machines.  Several people on the newsgroup running IPcop on a 486 w/16 Megs RAM are finding they need to reboot about twice a week.  My box has been up for a while now, and there have been no problems, but I have alot of RAM.   Just a heads up.  Keep an eye on it if you're using IPcop in production.  Alternately, if you have a box that has been running for a few weeks, take a look and see if you can see anything abnormal.  If so, I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you could forward it to their mailing list.   Kev.
