I have five cameras running (version 1.22.3), and find my nph-zms processes never close down. Here's my ps list:

Running Fedora Core 8, with most up-to-date released version of ZM from the fedora-updates. Was this a bug in 1.22.x? I didn't recall seeing this on this system before (I had to recently reinstall it due to a RAID controller failure)...and it was running the same version as it is now.
