Hi,

Load avg of our server (2.2.13 UP) is constant "1.00" with almost 100%
idle and with no process uses more than 0.1% CPU according "ps aux".
Another strange thing that executing a quota command lasts for minutes !

bind(5, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(778), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
ioctl(5, FIONBIO, [1]) = 0
sendto(5, "9n\265\30\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\1\206"..., 56, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(111), sin_addr=inet_addr("193.6.41.194")}, 16) = 56
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, {rlim_cur=1024, rlim_max=1024}) = 0
select(1024, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
sendto(5, "9n\265\30\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\1\206"..., 56, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(111), sin_addr=inet_addr("193.6.41.194")}, 16) = 56
select(1024, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
sendto(5, "9n\265\30\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\1\206"..., 56, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(111), sin_addr=inet_addr("193.6.41.194")}, 16) = 56
select(1024, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0} <unfinished ...>

etc.

What can be the problem ?
