I have a bering ulibc firewall running shorwall and ipsec.
It's badly leaking memory.
see:
https://development.coopmetrics.coop/munin/mcgruff/mcgruff.html
you can see that it leaks pretty hard during the nightly backups.
i have to reboot every few days or the machine runs out of ram and
becomes unstable.
The bad news is that this machine is in production, and i can't take it
down any time soon.
I'm pretty sure that it's ipsec related because i don't lose memory when
doing a big scp transfer NOT via the vpn.
Removing the ipsec modules does not free up the ram.
Any ideas?
Anybody seen this problem before?
