What is RAM usage like (look at the output of "free")? Something may be leaking memory, and you start thrashing swap after a week. > I reboot the server and then all works with no problems. Reboot shouldn't be the answer for anything - I've got Red Hat Linux servers that have been up for years without a reboot (although that will soon come to an end when we move our NOC). > The only not common thing I'm running is: openldap + nscd OpenLDAP likes to use a good bit of RAM, and I've heard about nscd doing odd things, so look at RAM usage. If you are much into swap, use "top" and sort by resident size (hit capital "M" to sort by RSS) to find the big RAM user. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
