hello list:
I have a FreeBSD 6.0 running in an HP Proliant GL 370, Dual Xeon 3.2 GHz,
1GB RAM, and RAID-5 75 GB, in this system we have a BIND DNS service and a
Sendmail as a mail relay-only server, processing an average of 3GB messages
daily, we have purchased a KAV license for 4 GB traffic daily, but we are
having problems: sometimes our server runs out of resources and issues the
following message error:
"maxproc limit exceeded by uid 0, please see tuning(7) and login.conf(5) ns1
sendmail[545] syserr (root): <mailbox at mydomain.com> openmailer
(smtpscanner): cannot fork: resource temporarily unavailable no queue:
syserr(root): daemon: cannot fork"
at this moment when I try to login at the server i receive this error:
"login: login: fork: resource temporarily unavailable"
the server replies at ping command, but doesn't allow telnet neither ssh,
and stops processing messages. we have noticed this scenario runs out of
free memory as we read the output of top command:
"last pid: 26888; load averages: 1.02, 0.91, 0.54 up 3+19:06:18
03:10:00
615 processes: 4 starting, 2 running, 608 sleeping, 1 lock
Mem: 698M Active, 58M Inact, 188M Wired, 48M Cache, 111M Buf, 3532K Free
Swap: 4096M Total, 24M Used, 4071M Free"
As soon as I reboot the system everything works fine for the next 3 or 4
days... I don't know what's exactly the problem and of course, I have no
idea of the solution, can anybody help me, please?
thanks in advance
