You get a ``swap_pager: out of swap space'' message on the console? If not, what is happening is that innd is running into the per-user VM usage limits, and you need to increase the limits in the shell before innd is started. If you ARE getting ``swap_pager: out of swap space'', then you really need to add more RAM, but a temporary solution is to add more swap space (which means that expire will take forever as the machine WILL thrash). I believe it's documented in the handbook how to do this (I can't remember offhand). Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
