I have named running from /etc/sysconfig and hence /etc/rc on boot. It is running as a caching named and grows with time. But when it hits 64Mb, the following occurs : ... named[68]: savedata: malloc: Cannot allocate memory - ABORT ... /kernel: pid 68: named: uid 0: exited on signal 6 ... /kernel: uid 0 on /: file system full A previous answer suggested this was a shell limit and suggested the ulimit command in sh - I looked but did not find so I ran named again using tcsh with increased memory limits and it is now running at 90Mb no problems. Does /bin/sh have a built-in limit ? Can it be changed ? What is the suggestion in this type of case ? I have read where /bin/sh is not true Bourne. Thanks Wayne
