Not familar with that, but there's ways to tell if swap is on.  There's
several commands related to swap, you can find them using the apropos

[tim at serge ~]$ apropos swap

I've never played with that.  I'd only do so if you had special needs
for it, and were familiar with how swap worked.

I have no idea what that's supposed to do with swap.

You're the first I've come across having problems with swap.  I'm more
inclined to believe that it's a setup issue.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
