"innd -r" means it is trying to renumber the active file; that's not part of
your normal startup, right? I'm running inn-2.3.4 as well, but my resource
usage-- even after two weeks-- is much smaller:
2-shot# psg inn
news 87623 0.0 7.0 46380 18028 ?? Ss 10Feb03 35:04.18
/usr/local/news/bin/innd -p4
news 87624 0.0 0.1 760 324 p0- IN 10Feb03 6:31.65 /bin/sh
/usr/local/news/bin/innwatch
news 87630 0.0 0.3 4164 824 ?? SN 10Feb03 11:13.67
/usr/local/news/bin/innfeed
Anyway, if you have a corrupted active file, this may be causing INN to get
confused and leak memory; try doing an "inncheck -v" and look into "man
makeactive" or "man makehistory". These are some tools which may help if your
active file has problems.
