Chances are Linux and SNORT are behaving. You may be reading the output of "free -t" or "procinfo" incorrectly....which is easy to do, especially if coming to Linux from a Win32s environment. The two systems manage memory differently. Unless you're noticing a major performance hit after killing SNORT, chances are you're fine. If you like copy the output of "free -t" to email after killing SNORT, will have a look at it. -yp
The easiest way (IMO) to tell is to use top. Here's my output: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 145 snort 4 0 40904K 39128K bpf 0 90:45 0.59% 0.59% snort So my proc is using ~40 megs of memory. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and with science. --Carl Sagan ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
