I don't think it is the CHROOT jail.  Look at the following memory numbers
IPTables+DHCP+Postfix
Memory:		Total	Used	Free	Shared	Buffers	Cached
Mem:			61112	57556	3556	0		1080		46672

+ClamAV
Memory:		Total	Used	Free	Shared	Buffers	Cached
Mem:			61112	59048	2064	0		788		43084

+ClamAV+SAGATOR
Memory:		Total	Used	Free	Shared	Buffers	Cached
Mem:			61112	57016	4096	0		644		43008
Note: Kernel's Out of Memory process kill had already started killing
processes by this point.  In fact, when I went to shutdown SAGATOR I got an
error that it was not running and a check of the system logs showed that the
out of memory process killer had killed it!  So this is basically after the
CHROOT jail.

So it doesn't appear to be the chroot jail.

That's the beaty of SHMFS, it only uses as much as it really needs.
The 41 GB are only the maximum size, but we could try reducing the valu=
e to
i.e. 1GB.

ClamAV shouldn't be a problem. Enable it and check the memory usage.

Sagator uses a CHROOT which actually eats up RAM. I can't tell you how
muchl but when you remind me on the weekend, then I can check on my ser=
ver.

[Devil-linux-develop] Memory usage....

[Dean N. <di...@ti...>]

[Using the 09-21 release...]

I have a pretty simple setup: IPtables, DHCP, and Postfix (only used for
outgoing).  The machine I run this on is a Pentium II 400Mhz with 64MB of
memory.

When I run procinfo (after the machine has been up and running, it tells me
for memory that there is 61112 Total, 57244 Used, and 3868 Free.  (It also
indicates [if it is important] 1080 for Buffers and 46440 for Cached.)

When I run df, I see:
Filesystem		1K-blocks	Used	Available	Use%	Mounted on
...
shmfs			41943040	19560	41923480	1%	/shm

Now, here are my questions:
o If I'm reading the df output correctly, does that say it is using 41
GIGABYTES for shmfs?
o Do we potentially have the shmfs incorrectly sized?  Would that return
additional free space?

Note: My goal is to enable ClamAV and SAGATOR.  When I tried it, I ran out
of memory.

Yeah, I do that a lot.  :-)

Remember your comment in the build section:

# COMPILE_KERNEL=1 should be 0, but there's a bug with the creation of sensors.h

Well, you have to to that in the install section too. 
Otherwise it aborts!  :-)

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

Please try it again.  I statically link the grub binary now (in CVS).

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] distcc 2.11 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.11' of 'distcc'
through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found
at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/distcc/

The changes in this release are as follows:
A new GNOME-based graphical compilation monitor  was added. Several
documentation and portability  issues were also fixed.  

Project description:
distcc is a parallel build system that distributes compilation of
C/C++/ObjC code across machines on a network. It can be set up in
just a few minutes and makes builds up to ten times faster. It does
not require machines to share a filesystem or have the same libraries
or header files, and installation does not need superuser privileges. 

If you would like to cancel subscription to releases of this project,
login to freshmeat.net and choose 'home' from the personal menubar at the

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] SpamAssassin 2.60 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.60' of
'SpamAssassin' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful
information can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/spamassassin/

The changes in this release are as follows:
The Bayes system was overhauled. The DB storage format was changed,
and the journal/expire and tokenization algorithms were improved.
spamd now supports UNIX-domain sockets. Better HTML parsing,
detection of "invisible text", and other obfuscation techniques. DNS
Blacklists were also overhauled with the addition of lots of new
lists, removal of defunct lists, better timeout handling, and better
header parsing. More flexible header and report rewriting options
were implemented. Perl taint mode is now enabled by default for
increased security.  

Project description:
SpamAssassin is a mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic
tests on mail headers and body text to identify spam. Once
identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later
filtering. It provides a command line tool to perform filtering, a
client-server system to filter large volumes of mail, and
Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of Perl modules that implement a
Mail::Audit plugin -- allowing SpamAssassin to be used in a
Mail::Audit filter, a spam-protection proxy POP/IMAP server, or
almost anywhere.

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] procps 3.1.13 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '3.1.13' of
'procps' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/procps/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release gives ps working -L, -T, and H options for NPTL thread
display, as well as the beginnings of m and -m support. This feature
requires a 2.6.0-test6 kernel, or a 2.6.0-test5 kernel with a patch
available from the procps Web site. Older kernels are still
supported, of course.  

Project description:
procps is a package of utilities which includes ps, vmstat, top, w,
skill, snice, pgrep, pkill, free, sysctl, pmap, uptime, and kill.
These utilities report what is running, who is logged in, how long
the system has been running, and what is using up memory. They can be
used to kill processes and change run-time kernel configuration
values.
