I have a CentOS 3.8 server which i manage for web hosting (web server, mail server + database server). Today i got it down because of an attack, here is the last snapshot of top command before server dies 09:47:30 up 21 days, 6:54, 1 user, load average: 363.88, 727.82, 253.42 3949 processes: 135 sleeping, 3800 running, 14 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: cpu user nice system irq

I've just installed Dovecot 0.99.12.1 onto a White Box EL 3 server. I'm mostly following the email server setup instructions at http://www.wanderingbarque.com/mailserver.html and getting Dovecot to work is the last task to complete. I've compiled Dovecot with LDAP support. I'm authenticating Postfix via SASL to the LDAP database just fine, and I also authenticate and

I have a system that is running into problems with high load, however, even when I shut down everything that could be loading the system, the load continues to rise. I can't see anything that is causing the load. Any ideas? 08:36:06 up 1 day, 10:57, 3 users, load average: 19.98, 19.30, 17.29 90 processes: 75 sleeping, 2 running, 13 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: cpu user nice

Do you know what can cause the smbd process to steal out the cpu usage (99%) and keep running like that for days? I have a Samba PDC 3.0.1pre3 running on top of RH9 2.4.20 kernel. Below is the current top report. Strangely, the PDC still responds in reasonable good response times to heavy network duty.traced the log.%machine name% and didn't find anything . I haven't tried to restart smb

Hi list, Time to time, my asterisk goes down.Verifying with TOP, I see the swap memory of the computer get used totally but, I don't see what the process is using it.

hi, we've got (and getting more) serious problem with load. I'm just calculate that ther is about 300 mailbox with 20Gb mails. and the whole system is _very_ slow and just getting slower and slower. it's a fast lan every client has 100Mb connection to the server with gigabit crad and gigabit switches. when I push the delete button in a mail I usualy have to wait 10,20 or 30

I am running Icecast2 and Ices2 on Redhat Linux 9. I have two ices running with two different configuration sending to Icecast and the cpu load for each is around 7.0. The playlist contains ogg files encoded using Ogg Encoder Decoder 1.2.8b from (www.mediatwins.com) with 64kbps, 44.1KHz, VBR. The <encode> </encode> is the same for both configurations and here it is:

Hi, You can use the sticky bit on directories (like /tmp is setup), so you can grant write access for any user, but they can't remove files owned by different uids. But Users can remove there own files anyway.

Hi, We are having issues with our samba server running on CentOS 7. It's generating core dumps and dumping them in the / (root filesystem) directory in the form of core.##### where the # is a series of numbers. Snippets of log files and some troubleshooting commands are below. Hope someone can have a look and see if I should file this as a bug, as there were similar posts in the samba

Hello, Don't know what happened, but Samba stopped serving up shares. Top shows 'smbd' using 66% of the cpu and 'rpc.mountd' using 33%.

I have asterisk running user a user/group asterisk/asterisk like so su - asterisk safe_asterisk and one the processes utilizes way more CPU than any other. According to htop, it used 7:59:XX of CPU time. Once I kill asterisk and restart, another process does the same thing while others are running smoothly. This doesn't look like standard behavior to me. Is this some sort of a master

Hi all, I'm using Asterisk 1.4.0-beta2 and lately I've noticed that I'm having trouble accessing my voicemail at work using phones on my Asterisk system. I have to press the * key during the voicemail login process. When I do, it seems that Asterisk "eats" it and doesn't send it along. I suspect it has something to do with the features.conf file, which you can look

I've noticed that artsd sometimes eats as much as 20% of CPU when idle. This is on my old laptop (where playing MP3s eats up to 50-60% of CPU). On newer faster processors this would probably go unnoticed (if it eats 20% on Pentium MMX, on Pentium 4 it might be around 1-2% or even lower). Just wondering if anybody else noticed this behaviour? -------------- next part -------------- A

According to top, plugin-containe is eating more than 120% of my CPU? I expect that that is allowed because I have a dual core CPU. Firefox is sloooooooowwwww. I expect that plugin-containe... is running in a firefox tab. How do I non-destructively discover which one? I'm running CentOS 6 and firefox 24.8.0 . I haven't updated firefox in a while because I've read that doing so will
