DMA is not enabled. Have you installed hdparm ? Do an `apt-get install
hdparm' and enable DMA by doing `hdparm -d1 /dev/hda'. You can also
pass on `-c1 -u1' to hdparm. Please test out the hard disk read timings
by doing a`hdparn -t /dev/hda' before and after passing the said
arguments.
>> BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
^^
You can also set the multi-sector count to 16 by passing `-m16' to
hdparm.
>> BIOS is already using udma4, but the following tells me, it's off?
Anyway `man hdparm' and `hdparm --help'.

If you forgive the shameless plug, OpenRADIUS may be a good alternative. It's a RADIUS server with a C core, supporting external modules written in other languages, but without the "CGI"-penalty (doesn't spawn per request), and it comes with a flexible LDAP backend module. You can not only put your users in LDAP but your NASes as well with this server. See http://www.openradius.net. No debian package is yet available though; you'll have to compile from source.

change DOCUMENT_ROOT via mod_rewrite
How can i rewrite the content of the environment variable DOCUMENT_ROOT via
the mod_rewrite Apache module?
I've a mass-virtual-hosting system based on mod_rewrite, everything is
working ok expect the DOCUMENT_ROOT that it's alsays refered to the principal
DocumentRoot directive (/web/htdocs).
In the doc page
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/mass.html#overview
the problem is well explained ("The other thing to `fake' is the document
root ...") and it say that can be solved via the VirtualDocumentRoot
directive of the mod_vhost_dyn and via the mod_rewrite.
I've already tryied mod_vhost_dyn and it works but for various reason i
cannot use this, but how can i do this with mod_rewrite?
Regards.
