question on memory swap for Darwin clients

[Dominique Frise]

Hi,

Here the output of memory real and swap values for a Mac OSX client:


  Tue Apr 18 08:34:07 CEST 2006 - Memory OK

    Memory              Used       Total  Percentage
green Physical            420M       1024M         41%
green Swap         4294967295M 4294967295M          0%


What means this hudge value for swap?
