<snip> Good info...thanks for sharing the results. I'm not too suprised by the web server "crash". It was never really setup to handle tons of inbound requests. In fact, there's a "feature" of inetd (which launches weblet). If you recieve too many inbound connection requests in a short period of time, inetd assumes there's something wrong and stops recieving connections for 10 minutes. That or running out of memory (easy to do on a system w/o lots of RAM with a scanner firing off tons of simultanious requests) is probably the culprit. The main thing to note is the currently dated ssh shipping with Dachstein-CD. Anyone want to volunteer to make an update CD? I just don't have the time :< Charles Steinkuehler http://lrp.steinkuehler.net http://c0wz.steinkuehler.net (lrp.c0wz.com mirror) _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
