PCI bandwidth is about 132 MB/sec (32bit at 33MHz), and with 100MB/sec? taken by the gigabit Ethernet, it doesn't leave much room for disk writes, much less the other networks. In practicality it will rarely see that much, but it must be capable of it (and I have a one shot budget to accommodate a few years growth). A common example of a PCI bottle neck is multiple SCSI controllers with stripped drives. It would make sense for gigabyte Ethernet cards and high speed SCSI controllers to use the AGP slot (since AGP is really PCI @ 66MHZ with a funny connector <- flame target) . There are SCSI raid adapters that are using PCI 66MHZ. Make sense? Oh well :). J.Currey
Re: Need Help About SSL Certificate
there is a script with appche-ssl, /usr/sbin/ssl-certifcate, that is called be the apache-ssl install that you can re-run to gen a cert. if you already have a cert use the --force flag. you can also pass a -days x flag to generate a cert that will expire in 3000 days or somesuch. there is a page at thawte/versign that explains (or used to be) how to generate a cert by hand, but that's basically what ssl-certifcate does for you. if you gen a new cert for apache-ssl, delete your old cert and force-reload to pick up the new cert. your milage may very. muggles On Thu, Apr 13, 2000 at 10:50:54PM -0600, Andy Bradford wrote: .Thus said Serhat Artun on Tue, 11 Apr 2000 15:23:39 +0300:
Re: won't stay connected to isp
Well assuming your ISP actually supports 2400 baud connections to it's dialup then you might have a little problem. Usually if you can't even connect properly you do not possess a fast enough connection (I have a 2400 as well and I tried to connect to a service that supposedly was up to 33.3 and it wouldn't accept my connection.

Let's see the ppp.log, /etc/ppp/options, and pap-secrets (without your username/password showing, of course!). And what kind of modem do you have? Unfortunately, some modems (like my USR Sportster) need different connect strings to work right consistently.

I didn't found a comparable product yet, does >anybody know ? There is a Dutch ISP service called "24 Hours Net" which is a free ISP (in Europe local phone calls are time charged and the ISP receives a portion of the phone call costs which covers all costs of running the ISP). It is aimed at business customers and gives each customer 1 free .nl domain. It is all based around the Netscape mail, web, and SMTP servers. It supports web based administration etc and works reasonably well. My personal estimation is that the current setup is likely to experience performance problems when it exceeds 10,000 domains, and will certainly have problems with 30,000 domains. But there is plenty of time to upgrade and/or reconfigure before then. I believe that the entire range of software employed on 24hoursnet servers is available for Linux.

Re: FTP upload by email
I should also add that there will have to be some kind of time sensitivity or other uniqueness test. Otherwise some malicious intermediary could intercept the message and save it for a while and then resubmit it into the mailstream. The destination would authenticate the message and old data would be posted to wherever. A way to guard against this would be to include time information in the encrypted portion of the file set. e.g. putting a serial number or time stamp in the file and having the script reject any material with an older serial number than the current version. +---+ |-=I T ' S P R I N C I P L E T H A T C O U N T S=- | |=- -=ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT=- -=| | Balanced Budgets Personal Freedoms Morality Lower Tax | |=-- http://www.Keyes2000.com. --=| ++
