Robert - thanks for your reply.


| 1) what version of FreeBSD?

4.6.2-RELEASE-p20 and 4.10-RELEASE-p3 but I haven't tried it on any
others (once I started seeing this problem).


| 2) how long does it take to collapse?

And of course I just restarted them both recently :-)

One box has had snmpd running for about 20 hours:
% ps aux28074
USER   PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
root 28074  0.0  1.7 34772 2068  ??  S     5:38PM   0:37.42 /usr/local/sbin/snm

Another for 2 hours:
ps aux91817
USER   PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND
root 91817  0.0  4.1  6916 5152  ??  S    11:42AM   0:01.37 /usr/local/sbin/snm

I think the latter was up to about 96MB after about 5 days.



| 3) is the box being polled
| 
|    - if so, what objects?

Yes - hrstorage table entries for disk monitoring.


|    - does it run out of memory even if polling is disabled?

I just started one with:
    # snmpd -Lf /dev/stdout -f 192.168.16.101:6666
    [init_smux] bind failed: Address already in use
    NET-SNMP version 5.2
and it's growing (not overly quickly), with no traffic.  "truss"
shows a bunch of gettimeofday() calls and __sysctl() calls, followed
by a select() what seems like a 2 second timeout, and repeats.

Thanks!  (I hope it's warmer in Georgia than it is here!)
