It appears to be a problem with check_MailScanner which I have running 
once an hour.    It can't seem to detect that MailScanner is running, so 
it starts up new processes.    If I do a ps axww the relavant lines are:

15006 ?        S      0:00 MailScanner: master waiting for children, 
sleeping                                         
15007 ?        S      0:02 MailScanner: waiting for 
messages                                                          
15068 ?        S      0:02 MailScanner: waiting for 
messages                                                          
15187 ?        S      0:02 MailScanner: waiting for 
messages                                                          
15234 ?        S      0:02 MailScanner: waiting for 
messages                                                          
15258 ?        S      0:01 MailScanner: waiting for messages


and I'm running
check_MailScanner version 1.13.2.8 dated 2003/07/29

Is there a newer version that the rpm install isn't updating for some 
reason?
