"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 ??

These are some tools which may help if your active file has problems. -Chuck Chuck Swiger | chuck@codefab.com | All your packets are belong to us. -------------+-------------------+----------------------------------- "The human race's favorite method for being in control of the facts is to ignore them." -Celia Green To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
