Hi Martin, Thanks for your reply. The memory usage of radiusd in our system went from 6687KB to 160MB which is 50.1% of memory of our system and radiusd got re-started.
I had run the Valgrind to see the resource leak. Definitely lost memory was 380 Bytes but still reachable are more. I think this is the one which is leaking memory. I dont have access to the log files today, i will post it by tomorrow for your reference. Thanks, Nikitha On 5/19/07, Martin Gadbois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

It depends if you're looking at RSS (RES in top), which is the actual RAM used by the process, or virtual memory (VIRT in top) which actually may map directly to disk and/or to RAM, and/or be shared with another process! A typical usage of a process the RES will rise, and then hit a plateau. Check the memory usage after a day, it should be the same the following week. If the RES raise linearly for days until the system trashes, you may have detected a memory leak. But to make sure a leak happens, usually tools like Valgrind helps better than looking at what the kernel reports, as there is a lot more hidden than what shows. - -- ============== +---------------------------------------------+ Martin Gadbois | "Please answer by yes or no. | Sr. SW Designer | Uncooperative user waste precious CPU time" | Colubris Networks Inc. | -- The Andromeda Strain, M.
