So I logged in and threw up a top session and saw this: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 88 root 53 0 33988K 33792K RUN 427:02 94.43% 94.43% natd I then did this: gate# tcpdump -i rl1 -n not tcp port 22 tcpdump: listening on rl1 And saw almost zero traffic. I rebooted thinking natd may have run away with itself for some reason and upon reboot it came up with top taking about 16% CPU. After a whopping 2 minutes or so natd is now taking 65-95% of the cpu time again. This box is an AMD 350MHz with 256MB of old SDRAM. Not a bragload of power but it should be overkill for splitting out routing and nat services for 1-4 workstations surfing the web. This behavior was *not* present until this morning and I have added nothing. Thnx for any insight or troublshooting tips you have, I already googled and came up craps. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with science. --Carl Sagan ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
