Re: [expert] Slow FTP and POP3
James, For FTP, I edited /etc/proftpd.conf to include the following line: IdentLookups off and then restarted ProFTP with /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart For POP/POPS I edited ipop3 and pops in /etc/xinetd.d/ to include log_on_success = yes instead of what it was(=+ USERID or something like that). Then I restarted xinitd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart Miark On 10 Mar 2003 21:49:21 -0800 James Sparenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, 2003-03-09 at 13:58, Miark wrote: > > > > I Googled the situation and found the answer: ident lookups.

Re: [expert] Slow FTP and POP3
And even more important to _me_, where did you find a hosting/co-location service using Mandrake?

Re: [expert] Slow FTP and POP3
It's me, O, Lord :-) I Googled the situation and found the answer: ident lookups. I have no idea what they are (right now) but I know that both POP and FTP were using and timing out on them. So I disabled them, and whamo--everything is fast again! Thank you, self. You're very welcome, self! Miark Roses are red, violets are blue; I'm schizophrenic and so am I.

[expert] Slow FTP and POP3
I have a 8.2 machine co-hosted in a remote state from me. When I connect via the Web, SSH, or SMTP, it's fast. When I connect via POP3 I have to wait about 25 seconds, and for FTP I have to wait about 10 seconds. This has been the case for many months. There was a period of, perhaps a week when everything was fast. But then it reverted back to "some fast, some slow". It didn't make sense that it was my box, so I did a traceroute and found a couple of places where things always slow down--all on UUNet, the network on which my box is hosted. I called them for help, but they wouldn't look into it because I'm not a direct customer. I then had my ISP call, and they were told that as long as the connection _works_ we don't give a damn how long we have to wait. My ISP said that if more people brought it to their attention that they might look into it. Of course I have no idea of _really_ knowing whether others have called about this. So I dunno. Any ideas? I'm really sick of waiting a half-minute to connect to my POP server. Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
