Well, I uninstalled the Snort plugin after reading your mail. That may have 
been the cause. I guess a pentium III 900MHz just can't handle snort + PHP.

I saw this as well - found it was the snort plugin doing it when ever it was 
clicked - cpu climbed. 
Interesting - on the sister machine (same hardware - same config) cannot 
duplicate.

Hello all, 

I am running pfSense 1.2.3-RC1, and the php process is currently eating 100% 
CPU. I have tried logging in via SSH and using the "restart the 
WebConfigurator" option, but that doesn't restart the PHP process. 
I am holding off on restarting the machine in case any devs was to SSH in and 
see if there's anything they can see causing the issue. 
All I can tell that causes the PHP process to do this is viewing certain pages 
in the web interface. 

Thank you for any help.
