Please find the ouput from the runs attached - For each new command tried (including mkdir) the first time, this memory seems to grow. Even when the same files is copied to another name and run, the chached data size increases. It copied snmpd to snmp2 and ran it to find a cache bloating by another 500 KB or so. Rerunning snmp did not cause any change to size though. Looks like some internal caching by linux - though I am not absolutely sure. Abhishek > -----Original Message----- > From: Kendrick G.
