Re: q ad ftp- w/o system-accounts
Hmm, I don´t want to cope with LDAP and/or MySQL just for a bunch of ftp-accounts (~ 30). Flat berkeley-db-files are much more appealing for such small numbers (they´re definitely not supposed to grow, not on this box, it´s just that I´m much more security-aware since it was hacked not long ago). I agree. 30 accounts is not much. Now to say that it's not enough for you to deploy a scalable (and very secure) solution that would solve your problem(s), I disagree. I wrote a doc explaining how to install MySQL step by step. If you keep your installation current and up-to-date, you should be ok when it comes to security. I basically suggest you give it a shot.

LDAP + quotas
To compare to a database concept, if the LDAP daemon had `triggers' and could execute code that made quotactl(2) calls on the relavent filesystems, on the relavent machines, when the quota values in the LDAP database changed that would be effective. To determine current usage the LDAP daemon would also have to use quotactl(2) to query the VFS though, unless current usage simply was not provided as part of your LDAP schema. - jsw -Original Message- From: Sami Haahtinen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 3:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re[2]: LDAP + quotas On Tue, Jul 31, 2001 at 02:52:55PM +0200, Russell Coker wrote: something like NSS for quota lookups would be nice, and to have a caching daemon (like nscd) to store the data for later lookups. nscd is only ever called by user-land code such as login, su, ls, etc. Quota is handled by the kernel.

Reasons why sending with Exim can be slow?
What are they? Above apply only while sending from local network. It's not a hosts, problem and I don't run it from inetd. No other service has similar problems. I even reinstalled exim again.

In 90% of such situations the problem was DNS (or lack of it). 1) Enable maximum logging in debugging where possible (exim, bind, ...). 2) Play with `host' and `dig' utilities to check whether DNS and reverse-DNS records for all hosts are present. 3) Try to telnet manually to port 25 and send some mail.

Re: Poorly Sized Partitions
Assuming you have a tape drive, and you can take the machine offline, use dump/restore. In case you have no tape drive on the net, but a spare partition, you can dump to that. The problem I see is taking the the partitions offline while you copy them.
