It seems I'm getting memory problems with my box.
I have 500Mb RAM, but if I run a command like who, 2 days after rebooting
the machine (it is okay for a while, then the problems start), I get the
message:
who: memory exhausted
Here's a ps -aux | sort +4n for your perusal:

Any experts out there have any ideas on this one? I'd appreciate your
