Hi hackers I'm tired of my X server occasionaly freezing, swap thrasing, & firefox dumps: 4,346,937,344 ~/firefox-bin.core so as a temporary cludge I ran touch ~/firefox-bin.core ; chmod 000 ~/firefox-bin.core I could put X users in another group, & reduce limits, per man login.conf ... RESOURCE LIMITS suggestions of values welcome. Yes 7.1 is old, thats my screen server, till I complete local builds of 7.2 & 8.0 on other boxes., then I'll upgrade, but I'll still want firefox though I see firefox is still troublesome eg uname -r # 8.0-RELEASE cd /usr/ports/www/firefox/Makefile ; make make # ===> firefox-2.0.0.20_9,1 is forbidden: too many security issues cd ../firefox3 ; make # is OK, & runs on 8.0 i686, but on amd64 fails with GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times so I'm pausing for perspective, comment invited :-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Mail plain text not quoted-printable, HTML or Base64 http://asciiribbon.org
