Can me help somebody? My server eats a lot of memory ~500Mb of 1024Mb There is no "X" or any "KDE" installed.. Only samba is started on it.
It shows that smbd is started several times, that is normal?

2779 root 9 0 2708 2708 2480 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.00 smbd
2781 root 9 0 2680 2680 2464 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.00 smbd
2782 root 9 0 1480 1480 1100 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 nmbd
2784 root 9 0 468 468 416 S 0.0 0.1 0:01.01 gpm
2786 root 9 0 484 484 432 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.01 agetty
2787 root 9 0 484 484 432 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 agetty
2788 root 9 0 484 484 432 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 agetty
2789 root 9 0 484 484 432 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 agetty
2790 root 9 0 484 484 432 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 agetty
2791 root 9 0 484 484 432 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 agetty
2792 root 9 0 3248 3248 2900 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.08 smbd
2794 root 9 0 1756 1752 1596 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.06 sshd

There is a sample..

the more than one smbd is fine.

and are you looking at allocated memory or actually used memory. They are different. It is common for *nix systems to allocate a mojority of your memory, but that doesnt mean its using it.

I have tried it before, it writes:
Mem: 904448k total, 589700k used, 314748k free, 14264k buffers

Thank you
