the I/O wait was cero on top. I killed all daemons and then the
load lowered. But as soon as I starter sendmail of openldap,
the load raised again.
Always, the CPU usage in top was under 10%



Opss, here is the answer! You have an open relay mail server. Spammer are
using your server to send emails!


I hope that was the cause, but it is not.
I shutdown sendmail and start xinetd(pop3) and then the load raise again.

Please check my previous mail to see how you can check this. It is very
important to close the relay.

Will try the netstat commands, thanks
Oliver
