Subject: FC1 Killing processes


I'm running FC1 on a intel 1.7G CPU with about 700MB RAM.
 
We get the following in the DMESG were precesses are killed. This is a small
mail server serving about 3k messages a day. We run MailScanner SA sendmail
and Virus Checking. 
 
My logs are supposed to be updated to a MYSQL DB but I had to stop this for
my server kills mysql and then everything stops. We aslo had a chaching DNS
but this was also killed. 
 
The server starts fine and runs for a while then it starts killing
processes. This server run OK until we loaded fc1. Previously we were
running RH9
 
Where can I start looking for problems.
 
This is wat I got out of /var/log/messages

Hi,
Output from top and vmstat would be helpful to troubleshoot, sort top by
memory usage (shift-M) will probably give you some idea which process is
taking all of the available memory.
