ESET File Security Server for Linux - memory problem

[markopolo1]

Hello,

I have installed ESET File Security Server 3.0.21 for Linux (RedHat Ready) on Redhat 5 Enterprice.

I have a problem. ESET is using all physical memory and use SWAP during on-demand scanning. I have 8GB memory in the server.

It seams like memory leaking or something like that?

Do you have any idea?
