It just depended on what was running on that given machine. However, my guess is that the freebsd-security list does not need us all to talk about what machines we've seen in our lives, and how much swap they've used. It is probably a good time for this "little question (offtopic)" to die out or to move to some other mailing list... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
