If you could send us a process list we could have a look if there is really something wrong with a specific package for example. I guess it's some kind of upgrade glitch but who knows. I recommend a reinstall though. Holger

Hi Holger, well, currently nmap and spamd are running - snort used to be installed for a while, but it since a while it didn't startup correctly anymore, so i de-installed it. The system had it's last full reinstall on June 16th 2006 and was upgraded ever since every 4..6 weeks to what ever was available. I guess it's just about time to be reinstalled - even when the growing number of processes didn't really stop pfsense from working :-) Thanks for the "confirmation" Holger On Mon, 2007-03-12 at 10:21 +0100, Holger Bauer wrote: I just checked some of my systems and they run at around 40 processes for weeks/month. Almost a flatline. Do you run any packages on this installation, if so which are these. If you run a top can you identify the processes? Something running multiple times?

Hi, can someone confirm/explain if it's normal that the number of processes continuously grows until the next reboot eg. because of a Firmware upgrade? Please see attached RDD bit map. (Right - the router was switched off for about a week end of Feb :-) ) Thanks, Holger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
