Hi, Since we upgraded to Debian Lenny (auth daemon 0.61), we are experiencing a memory leak in the Courier Authdaemon. Since then we upgraded to testing (auth daemon 0.63), to see if the problem was already solved. But it is not. Debian sarge did not have this problem.
Because a graph tells a lot more than words, please see the attached image. You can see the memory slowly leaking away, the os gives up the cache more and more until no memory is left. At that moment the auth daemon states that it can not fork anymore (and an input/ouput error) and gives up. At ~9:15, Ive done a restart on the authdaemon only (not on any other process) and you see instantly the memory is released back to the operating system. And of course this repeats itself. After 1,5 days we again have the same problem. This machine only runs courier. The authentication is happening against PAM which auths against an LDAP directory. The OS is Debian testing, and the following courier versions are installed: ii courier-authdaemon 0.63.0-2 ii courier-authlib 0.63.0-2 ii courier-base 0.65.0-1 ii courier-imap 4.8.0-1 ii courier-imap-ssl 4.8.0-1 ii courier-pop 0.65.0-1 ii courier-pop-ssl 0.65.0-1 ii courier-ssl 0.65.0-1 If you need any more information let me know. If there is a special bug tracker which is more appropriate let me know too. I could not find one easily. Can anyone help? Best, Tom Albers KovoKs B.V. KvK: 11033334 P.s. I've also seen another message on this list that might be related. It talks about 'intermittent' and the same input/output error: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=NCEPJJMAJKELEEEMCIHNMEOMGBAA.goutam.baul%40cesc.co.in&forum_name=courier-users ------------------------------------------------- Dit mailtje is verstuurd vanaf de server van KovoKs. http://www.kovoks.nl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
