We useta see that at my place of work as well, all the way back into RH7.3, but *ONLY* on the RedHat systems. nothing else.

Not sure about RHEL, but on Fedora Core 1 the saslauthd process eats tons

cyrus from being able to process imap and pop logins (if you're using
saslauthd
for authentication). A simple restart usually fixes this particular
problem.

This may or may not be related to what you're seeing, but I figured I'd
throw
this out there.

Quoting Mohamed Magdi Abbas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I'm running cyrus impad(v 2.2.6), used to run 2.1.16, on RHEL 3.0 and
noticed that the amount of swap space free is decreasing. When I was
running v2.1.16, the swap free would decrease until the kernel oom(out
of memory) killer would activate and start killing processes which
essentially grinds the system to a halt. I doubt that this is normal.
Could this point to a memory leak in cyrus. Just for note, I have not
yet experienced this with the latest version, but the swap free is
decreasing.

By the way I'm using simons RPMS from invoca.ch. Could someone shed some
light on this. Anything will help...
