Hi all: My previous message was a little bit confusing, so I have reformatted to make it more readable.
As you can be read in the sample configuration file bellow, the processes parameter should be set to 1 (one) when the equipment has one procesor. However as shown in the default configuration file (first seven lines pasted here) the parameter is always set to 2 (two). Now, my question: ¿What is correct?, and why? This is very important because it affects the RAM memory allocation when changing max_clients and/or max_backends parameters which normally are set too low 5 (five). An answer will be much appreciated. Thanks and Regards epo Below are the first seven lines of the default Messagewall configuration file taken from a Proventia M10. processes=2 max_clients=5 max_backends=5 max_per_ip=5 max_message_size=10485760 max_rcpt=25 max_ext_rcpt=25 Again below is part of the sample configuration file that comes with the firmware # This is the MessageWall sample configuration file. All # variables in this file must be uncommented and defined before # MessageWall will start. # # # The number of processes to create at startup. This option is # provided to fully utilize machines with multiple processors; # it should never be set higher than the number of processors in # your system. Several of the scaling variables (max_clients, # max_backends, max_per_ip) are per process. # processes=2 # # # XXXX max_clients needs to be equal to max_backends if multi_backend!=0 # # The maximum number of clients that messagewall should accept # per process. Any clients attempting to connect over this limit # will receive a temporary error instead of a greeting. # max_clients=5 # # # The number of connections to the backend server to try to keep # open per process. If no connections are free when we receive # a message from a client, MessageWall sends the client a temporary # error indicating that they should try again later. # max_backends=5 _______________________________________________ ISSForum mailing list [email protected] TO UNSUBSCRIBE OR CHANGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, go to https://atla-mm1.iss.net/mailman/listinfo/issforum To contact the ISSForum Moderator, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ISSForum mailing list is hosted and managed by Internet Security Systems, 6303 Barfield Road, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30328.
