« on: August 16, 2006, 12:14:58 AM »

Second install of SME 7 final with SME 6.0.1 restore- followed directions in stickie.

1st server with over 900 accounts

This is the second build of the same data.

At 1 week almost to the hour everything worked fine. Then a server slow down

I do a console login. Use the 'TOP' command to see the memory and cpu.

Below is what I see.javascript:emoticon(':-o')
Surprised

I found that clamd was causing my issues. Do a 'service clamd stop' and see if that helps. you may notice that it may keep comming back until you disable it.

just a thought
