Hi All,
I have running Nagios on a Dell workstation Precision 650, with 2G RAM, 
240G HDD, Red Hat Linux 8.0. and swap is 4G
The Nagios hosts=496 host with services=3648 service

I found that when I start the nagios service, after a short time, it has 
been killed. Then I restarted again, then killed again.
I found the following in (dmesg):
Out of Memory: Killed process 1978 (nagios).
Out of Memory: Killed process 6977 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 8111 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 9654 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 10164 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 11922 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 11976 (nagios).
Out of Memory: Killed process 12291 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 14247 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 14247 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 15624 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 17961 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 19086 (gdmgreeter).
Out of Memory: Killed process 19390 (gdmgreeter).


In /var/log/messages, I found:

When I reboot the machine it works fine till I try to restart the nagios 
service in order to apply some changes. the problem starts again.
Any clue..??
