I am getting alerts for memory usage and a user. Errors such as these are spamming my inbox:
• lfd on server: Excessive resource usage: username (13319 (Parent PID:10223))


And so forth. I changed the memory for PT_USERMEM in /etc/csf/csf.conf to 500 from 200 and issued `csf -r`. Sadly I am still getting erros about exceeding the amount of memory. Similarly I have tried to use csf.pignore with an entry of `user:usernam` to hopefully eliminate issues such as an additional user assigned the uid of 0. Unfortunately it seems as though these changes are not becoming active as I am still being flooded with these.

Any idea as to what may be going on here?

You have to restart csf and lfd after making any changes to csf.conf

So I thought I did that already in terms of restarting *both*, just for a sanity check will you tell me the shell command to restart both of these correctly? After I restart this way vs the web page, I'll see what happens.

EDIT: So yes, I did verify that both are restarted and the same thing still happens. Any additional thoughts?

Just to clarify here, I did the following to restart `csf` and `lfd` and still having the same results:

usermem and pignore definitely doesn't work.

I get hundreds and hundreds of emails

Hello,

I have had this issue and was able to fix it by killing the sleeping lfd process and restarting lfd.
