After changing large amounts of passwords (100-200)
freebsd runs out of mbufs.
The machine reports the following in the log
/kernel: looutput: mbuf allocation failed
/kernel: All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning
(7).
The server then stops recieving connections to any
services (ssh, smtp, webmin) for approximately 20
minutes untill the mbuf is cleared.

Webmin starts a new process for each password change, so any
resources that it uses up should be released when the change
is done. Or does this happen if you use webmin for a long
time to do anything?

I can only report the problem when changing passwords. It
seems either that the password change is taking along time,
so that many processes are started eating up resources or
that the resources arent being freed properly upon completion
of the password change.
Sorry I cant give you any more details.
