I have a debugging version of inetd compiled, along with samba. I'll repost my samba backtraces if they'll help. inetd gives the "junk pointer: too high to make sense" messages before it dies. I'm still figuring out how to debug that problem, as it dies before I can attach to it with gdb. what can I do to help diagnose/fix these problems? This is on -current as of ~2 days ago. (my machine has been up since then, and the problems only get worse the longer the machine has been up) my swap usage is: Device 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 69632 49032 20472 71% Interleaved /dev/wd2s1b 81920 47568 34224 58% Interleaved Total 151296 96600 54696 64% Mem: 54M Active, 2596K Inact, 16M Wired, 1664K Cache, 2844K Buf, 18M Free Swap: 148M Total, 94M Used, 53M Free, 64% Inuse and i do have one "suggest more swap" message in my logs: Nov 16 21:54:32 jason /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 190 MB along with an "interesting" message from sshd (1.2.26): Nov 18 20:39:32 jason sshd[90364]: fatal: xmalloc: out of memory (allocating 107 3675515 bytes) (oddly enough it isn't even 8pm yet, weird. unrelated problem? :)) and many instances of inetd dying on sigsegv's. please, i'm willing to give people accounts on this machine, do debugging, test patches, whatever it takes. just tell me what data/information you need or point me in the right direction. i had none of these problems when i ran 2.2-stable a while back, on the same hardware. thanks, -- Jason Garman http://garman.dyn.ml.org/ Student, University of Maryland garman@earthling.net And now... did you know that: Whois: JAG145 "If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb." -- 0xdeadbeef posting To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
