Sorry to pepper you with so many questions..

Hey, anything that might help.


What do you get when you type:
  cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

65000


cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max

4086



On one of my well-running RH 9 boxes,

I'm on 7.1.


I get:

  cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
    26208

I'm more than double that. Is more too many?



  cat /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
    4095

I'm very close to that.



You can adjust these values by becoming root and typing in something like:
  echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
  echo 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max

Note: this is not a recommendation (well it is, but it's not *my* recommendation...)

Both of which are well less than what I have. What would this do?


BTW: I'm guessing that you are not running either NFS or NIS (NIS is a way of sharing user information amoung a lot of unix servers)

Sounds right.


I also guess that hda1 is your /boot and that hda3 is /

Correct


That indicates that your install is using one IDE drive.

Right again.


I hope your mail traffic is not too high!

Not yet, but it will be in time as I move more lists. I am way over due for some upgrades and the box no longer covers what I need, so I'm looking to move to a new server. I'm thinking a two HD box running C-panel, and I'm looking to run a better MTA than sendmail.


You might want to drop the Open Relay checks for a week and see if that
makes a difference. I'm not sure, but Sendmail may be holding open the
access.db file while it does these checks.

Could be, but my lists are currently announcement lists that send at a low mail time. I once let the runaway process go for 15 minutes to see if it would clear, it did not. The open relay checks cut my mail volume substantially, and I suspect I'd hear from some customers if I stop them.


Thanks for the help.
