What is your load values?
I have a similar problem and after 6 or 7 days, my load goes to 15 to 20.
The only thing that is not official from redhat is mimedefang.org and kaspersky.com
antivirus.


I could pinpoint the problem yet

Try disabling cron or look at /etc/crond.daily for something that run at that time.

Hi All,
We have installed RH 9.0 and upgrade the initially to kernel 2.4.21, and
then kernel 2.4.22. The bizzare out of memory problem persists 4-5 times
last week. Machine runs out of memory and swap slowly and we couldn't
identify why the system behaves like this, nothing strange in the process table.


We are running Bind 9.2, Apache 1.3, RAdius server 0.18.1, MySQL 3.23.57 and postfix. Primary busy services on this server are only due to Apache and radius. Main
database is as big as 30 Mb and request per second is no way more
then 10-50. We suspect from the C libs on the system, gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) where malloc or
realloc has some sort of stability issue, because we can compile radius on gcc 2.96 but not with 3.2.x.


Every 2 days, aroun 08:30 system hangs and run out of memory.
(No scheduled cron job is running at that time!)\ A part from syslog

Anybody could suggest any sort of diagnosis or suggestion why this
might happend? Named or Httpd memory leakage? Radius or any other
combination. By the way we are running Xeon proc on Intel Server Board
SE750 1 BR2.


Many Thanx for the comments for this bothering problem.

Mehmet
