The server runs (and has always run) apache-2.2. When I do a 'top' I see around 30 entries that all look like this: 32016 www 1 20 0 321M 40744K lockf 1 0:13 0.00% httpd When I do a ps and grep for www, I get back ~62 entries that look like this: www 81139 0.0 0.9 324456 36784 ?? I 7:50AM 0:03.49 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT My hardware is; hw.machine: amd64 hw.model: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz hw.ncpu: 4 hw.machine_arch: amd64 Is it normal to see that many httpd process and lockf entries? Or do I have something incorrectly configured. I don't know if this started happening after 9.X, it might have been doing this before. Ron
