[vchkpw] 90% CPU in vchkpw

[Luís Gustavo Facioni Barcellos]

Hi, all

I have a qmail 1.0.3, daemontools 0.76, qmail-scanner 1.12 with mcafee, vpopmail 5.2.1 and sqwebmail 3.3.4 in a brand new Slackware 8.1 box.

Its all running fine, but sometimes the server stops authenticating. The top shows a vchkpw process consuming more then 90% CPU and I get a *server busy* on client.

my qmail-pop3/run script:
#!/bin/sh
env - PATH="/usr/local/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin"
MAXCON=40
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R -c "$MAXCON" 0 pop3 \
/usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mydomain.here.com \
/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

Someone could tell where do I start to fix it?

TIA
