Just today I found my openbsd server curiously stalled... not completely dead, could switch consoles, ping it.. but otherwise unresponsive.
Found out that smbd was eating huge amounts of memory, and I put the crash down to smbd. I applied ( by hand, patch did not work ) the patches Paul wrote.. and now smbd is behaving in a more sane fashion, though still seems to be very slowly climbing in memory useage, though nothing like it was before. It was climbing at around 1Mb of ram per second before hand, now it is only using 6mb of ram ( started at 2.7 ish mb of ram ) according to top. So either there is still some memory leakage in telldir and friends, or smbd has other memory leaks in it, or this is just normal behaviour for smbd. But the patch definately put a stop on the rapid memory consumtion. Thanks Paul
