Description (last modified by )
I tried searching existing bug reports but didn't find anything.
vboxwebsrv memory usage seems to grow very quickly when calling the logon function. You can test this using webtest (from vbox source) logon / logoff. This does not happen on a Debian 6.0.2 box. I also notice that it does not happen if I set websrvauthlibrary to null. The debian box has websrvauthlibrary set to default.
As the author of a web frontend to VirtualBox, I've seen a few reports of this on my site. I had been unable to reproduce it until now.

Let me know if I can provide any more information.

So errmm.. I tracked the memory leak down to libpam-smbpass (pam_smbpass.so). Sorry for not looking into it further before posting this report. You may close this. It really has nothing to do with virtualbox.
