I am seeing the same issue on Ubuntu Xenial with proftpd. I am hosting 2 fairly busy proftpd servers that handle up to 10 login/secs. My /var/log/btmp are at size 0 but the /var/log/wtmp file are up to 83M, maybe more because I restarted the servers before finding this ticket to take a look at those.
The result is that the process /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon eats one full CPU core at all time. ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316830 Title: /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon :: memory and CPU time leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1316830/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
