Re: maximum number of processes on kernel 2.4.x

[Denis A. Kulgeyko]

   Hello !

 Does anybody know how to change the maximum number of tasks/processes
 available under the 2.4.x kernels, similar to tuning NR_TASKS and
 MAX_TASKS_PER_USER in 2.2.x and 2.3.x?  Our mail software sometimes
 requires a large number of processes, and we cannot ssh into the server
 once the number of processes belonging to root reaches 256.

 Thanks for any help that you can provide,

 Wayne

I'm set max. processes count (using ulimit -u) in sendmail start script 
(right before first (parent to others) daemon is executed) and in sendmail 
config file (MaxDaemonChildren parameter). And so on for all other daemons. 
Summary, if all services runs max. available children count, there is some 
available processes (total running processes count lesser than max. available 
processes) and free virtual memory for run some sshd and shells to log on. I 
think, there is no need to change kernel data structures.

P.S. Excuse me for my ugly English. :)

Re: Bandwidth limiting

[Denis A. Kulgeyko]

 My users are using all the outgoing bandwidth by downloading files thru
 FTP, port 20. This results in the eMail and Web being unusable, even if
 they really don't need much by themselves.

 I head BSD has this kind of bandwidth limiting possibilities.
 What about Deb ?

 I tried limiting the packet size, but it really doesn't do much.
 Hope there is a solution somewhere, besides shutting down the FTP.

I'm redirecting some outgoing traffic (with dest. ports 80:81 and so on to 
squid and with dest. ports 20:21 to frox) via firewall and using squid with 
delay_pools + frox with redirecting traffic to squid (where it goes through 
delay_pools).
One moment - frox seems to be unstable.
