Zitat von Dirk Enrique Seiffert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I am running web-cyradm with MailScanner on SuSE 9.3, patched custom kernel
2.6.11.4 on a Dual Xeon Mailserver with 2G Ram. The server processes an
average of 20.000 mails per day for about 200 users. After a few days of
uptime the machine starts swapping until it crashes with an OoM-Killer after
about 10-15 days. As this doesn't happen frequently it ends up very difficult
to track down the problem. Now I noticed that saslauthd starts to comsume
lots of memory after beeing up for a while.

On the list archives I saw some posts reporting this problem 2years ago. I use
cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.20 - Does anybody know this problem or -even better-
a solution? Restarting daily by cron could be a workaround?

As fas as i know it isn't saslauthd but pam_mysql which leaks memory. We have
"solved" it by using saslauthd with "-n 0" option but i don't know if this is
recommended for a high traffic site. Which pam_mysql version are you using?
I have not tested the 0.6.x version until now.

BTW : Why do you use a patched kernel instead of the stock SuSE 9.3 (just
curious)

Regards

Andreas
