The second issue is also with 4.5 but with Gamin. I have about 20 Linux CentOS workstations that have been running nicely for several months (almost years) and after the 4.5 upgrade I have noticed that the gam_server process with Gamin keeps sucking up all the CPU cycles after a short time of running. (Sometimes tied to screen saver use but not always). I haven't changed anything in my environment that I can see would cause this problem after the 4.5 upgrade. (Same file server for NFS mounts, same autofs entries etc). Has anyone else noticed this issue and found a work around, I did some digging but most entries on this issue are from the 2005 range which didn't fix my issue and/or were for an older version. The /etc/gamin/gaminrc didn't fix it through various mutations of entries and short of removing the gam_server from libexec, I would like to find a solution or know if anyone else has experienced this issue.
This is an active bug being tracked upstream:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240154
Some workarounds are suggested there, but a fix has apparently not yet been found.
