      Hi all,

      Running 2.1.3 I see the number of processes increasing by 1 or 2 every 24 hours, whilst it does normal firewalling,
      some vpn etc. I suspect the ssh lockout proces reforks and then hangs. any ideas, or seen the same behaviour ?

      the ssh locklout table is empty.

      looking / digging deeper, can it be that sshlockout_pf gets haywire when encountering an ssh logline with an ipv6 ip number ??

      Rudi

        Run "ps uxawww" and then save that somewhere, come back in a couple days and run it again. See what is in the second list but not the first.
