I run a clarkconnect 2.1 firewall at home, and it's giving me some
strange results. I recently expanded the RAM in it, because back when
it had 96Mb it was claiming that it was using 99% of physical RAM,
although i couldn't figure out why. Now, though, it has 256Mb of RAM
and i'm still getting the same problem. The output of top (sorted by
memory usage) is this:
~ 10:01:36 up 19:41, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.15, 0.09
55 processes: 52 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.0% user 0.0% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 100.0% idle

I don't know how to diagnose the problem beyond this - can anyone tell
me how to find out which processes are claiming how much memory?
Or, alternately, tell me what you need to know to find out the source of
the problem, Thanks in advance...
