no NIS running Looked at different format, ps v -e, shows TRS,DRS,RSS %MEM -- nscd still seems to look like the DRS (data resident size?) is high (42M) for what it needs to cache. But I see other programs using more %MEM (expected: squid, spamd - 2.7, 2.2%), but nothing else using more than 1%. I only see ~150M memory in buffers, ... only 29M free on a 1G sys, ah! vmstat shows 582M in cache. That's where most of it is... Could someone remind me, cache is used for filesystem caching (right?), but then buffers are used for? My fogged brain...sigh... Still wonder why nscd is so high in DRS....but more out of curiosity, I guess, now... Thanks for the responses... Linda steve wrote:

Are you using NIS?
