** Description changed: When used in conjunction with IRC bouncer software or many-client setups with oidentd, a new oidentd process will be spawned for each oidentd connection request, and the previous processes won't terminate/end. Attached are modified oident.confs in the system in question, and a modified init.d with a -l 10 option which fixes this issue. I would suggest patching the init.d item to fix the init.d script to change the default options to limit the number of processes/simultaneous connections that can be handled. - This may not be a security bug, but this malfunction can in certain - cases eat up to 1GB or more of RAM. + cases eat up to 1GB or more of RAM, and can lead so system instability.
