Upgrade your glibc (to the one in 6.1, for example), or turn off NIS+ in /etc/nsswitch.conf. That's where the memory leak is... |
I'm running redhat 6.0 with some changes. The syslog package logs from other firewall machines. I haven't checked 6.1's sysklogd, but it seems to be the same version as 6.0's. ps auxw | grep syslog shows: root 4639 0.0 34.9 114484 44816 ?
