Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.7-4etch3 Severity: normal The cupsd process is leaking memory. It is not a major problem on a server with plenty of memory, but on a fairly busy print server with aproximately 60 users it loses about 2 MB daily. The server is monitored with jffnms so it's quite obvious that the process is eating memory that is not released until a process restart.
I can add that most if not all print jobs are raw - ie. they come from Windows clients through Samba and are already formatted for the intented printer. All printers attached using network sockets so in this case Cups is merely acting as a spooler. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii cupsys-common 1.2.7-4etch3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2. 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1etch1 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsimage2 1.2.7-4etch3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.2.7-4etch3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1+etch1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgnutls13 1.4.4-3+etch1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.21 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-6.2 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.8-7etch3 Core Perl modules ii poppler-utils [xpdf 0.4.5-5.1etch2 PDF utilitites (based on libpopple ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.2.7-4etch3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20061031-1.2 linuxprinting.org printer support ii smbclient 3.0.24-6etch10 a LanManager-like simple client fo -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, socket, usb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
