I'm running 3.1.3 with a bunch of SARE and local rules on my hosted server, which only has 96MB of RAM and 196MB of swap. It's also running BIND serving as authoritative for a few domains, and apache serving static content, but no databases or other fancy stuff. I have it configured to only spawn one child and run all scans sequentially, as I don't really care if it takes a couple of minutes to score a message. It works reliably, though there's little margin for adding much else. If there was any less memory I would not be able to run SA. How much swap do you have? And what else is running on the server? -- John Hardin KA7OHZ ICQ#15735746 http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 - 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction.
