FC5 memory leak?


Guys,

Just have installed Fedora Core 5 from binary image. Used to have FC2 before
for couple years; missed FC3, FC4. Well, minimized number of services to 11.
Had initial memory utilization approximately 58M. Much better than I had with
FC2. Did not launch any application or server.

Few hours (may half a day) later found out that memory utilization grew up to
220 MB.

Installed nss-3.11.1-1.fc5.i386.rpm; keeps growing up to 175MB.

Any idea? Please?

services in mode 3:
crond messagebus network ntpd sendmail smartd sshd syslog yum

uname:
Linux fesb2.exchange 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 14 15:48:33 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Check your cron files and see what scripts run and at what times. Might be residue cache in memory. One of the biggies in FC is maybe the prelink script.
