I had this problem of zombies on the linux box with an earlier beta of lyris 4.0, but the production release of lyris was not exhibiting this behavior. I do believe they are properly reaping processes... but I have to run ktrace on it to see, I suppose. Or do you already have such evidence that they're not calling wait() like they should? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
