I wonder if the socket issue is 'pushing into' the swap stuff (ie. this is a result of the problem, not the cause) ... But, based on the 'default 70MB == 14G of configured swap' above .. I only have 8G of swap on that machine, which really makes it sound like this is an overflow from the other problem :( - ---- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email .
