- |The 'new' wmgr mentioned above appears to be either a part of base 3.51 or
- |was on FIXDISK2.0, as my system already has the features mentioned as part
- |of the one on OSU-CIS. The following output from "what" shows what's here
- |on hawkeye:
- |
- |/etc/wmgr:
- | wmgr:wmgr.sl 1.8
- |
- |I've seen somewhere (another followup) that the one on OSU comes back from
- |"what" with version 1.7. With the 1.8 version, I have run 37 days with two
- |gettys running on window devices (may have gone longer... rural power :-)
- |and have no known memory leak problems with any processes.
-
-
- On this system the os is version 3.51, with most
- of the 3.51m fixes applied (but the 3.51m kernel
- won't boot, sob) - the 1.8 wmgr still leaks some
- memory, but not as much as the old 3.51 version.
-
-
- On the other system the 3.51m kernel boots up OK
- and the wmgr seems not to leak memory.
