Package: libpam-ssh Version: 1.92-10 Severity: important I ran into a problem with Debian Edu based on squeeze, where the libpam-ssh package is installed automatically. We also install several cron jobs, nagios and munin. The problem I ran into was that cron processes did not exit, and the system ran out of file descriptors and memory. Were not able to debug in properly, as I had 2600 cron processes and all swap was used. Ended up using 'killall cron' to get the machine limping along. After killing all these cron processes, I noticed pstree reporting ~400 ssh-agent processes. The only source I could thing of for these processes is the libpam-ssh package, so I have purged it from the system and hope to not experience the same problem again.
Perhaps it is a good idea to check how libpam-ssh work with cron jobs? Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
