Yes, another test system (P5 MMX/233 laptop) drops its NFS throughput from 4MB/sec to 2.5MB/sec when built with those flags. So I'm assuming you're doing these benchmarks on a comparable system? I think this just demonstrates that you should not run benchmarks with all your debugging flags enabled :) Most people will not be running production systems with WITNESS, and parts of the kernel that bog down under the heavy load of WITNESS may work just fine on a regular kernal config. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
[future patch] dropping user privileges on demand
Currently, root is the only user that can actually drop significant privileges, as root is the only user that has access to such functions. This is flawed --- any user should be able to relinquish his privileges, and i've begun a patch to put this into effect. However, the fact that this is a security-related kernel feature modification warrants peer-review, in both design and implementation. It would be unwise of me to create the patch without consulting such. The web page that discusses the patch may be found at: http://www.episec.com/people/edelkind/patches/kernel/flowpriv/ I welcome any discussion and criticism. ari ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
