Package: oidentd Related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oidentd/+bug/1094773
When used in conjunction with IRC bouncer software or many-client setups with oidentd, a new oidentd process will be spawned for each oidentd connection request, and the previous processes won't terminate/end. This can lead to oidentd spawning a large number of processes capable of eating up RAM on a system. This makes low-resource systems susceptible to oidentd eating all memory resources causing systems to cease to function (although this is not what happens on normal operation, only in certain setups). A repaired oidentd init.d script file exists at the Ubuntu bug that fixes this, by limiting the number of processes/connections using `-l 10`. That does not have a patch attached, however that is one solution to the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
