The Problem: When I first boot, top reveals 16 Meg of ram used.
This slowly increases, and after a couple of days, this up to 62 Meg!
Why? Does Linux have a memory leak?
I decided to upgrade to the 2.2.1 kernel.
Still happens.
Then a friend of mine mentioned:
"I had a problem like this before: the early masq code had a memory leak in
it. Unless you are using experimental kernel features, this is probably not
a kernel problem since the 2.2.1 kernel has been pretty well tested. Try
shutting down some services to narrow down where the leak is. "
What am I running:
HTTP Apache 1.3.2
DNS - Unpublished Primary
BIND 8.1.2
IPMASQ with IPCHAINS
Sendmail with POP
So I shut everything down, but ipmasq, and still the memory slowly creaps up.
Has anyone seen this? or have any suggestions?
Thanks...Geoff
