Hi,

I have a question about my daily periodic stuff.  I added a couple of
things to /etc/periodic/daily and now it seems like I'm running out of
memory in the middle of executing this stuff:

> checking setuid files and devices:
> find: fts_read: Cannot allocate memory

...

> running tripwire file integrity check:
> list_insert(): malloc() failed!

I originally thought that there was a problem with login.conf resource
limiting but in /etc/crontab the periodic command is run as
root... and my root login conf has unlimited access to memory.

I am able to execute these commands as root logged at the console.
Can anyone give me a clue?

Scott
