Ha! take a look at ports: /ust/ports/ if you installed them.. www.freebsd.org/ports/ You can use either ports (source-code based, you compile them locally) or packages (binary based, faster bethod but not that much configurable) If you have experience with Gentoo, ports is what they copied when they implemented emerge.

That basically means, that if apache is installed at /var/www/ , you can set it so that it isn't aware of anything that's not under /var/www/ So, even if a security hole is found on apache, and someone does manage to break in, they won't be able to do much to the system, nor gain information about it, but will only be able to deal with /var/www/* ... If security is all that matters, you might want to have a look at OpenBSD's approach, which runs a modified apache version, chrooted by default. P.S. Running apache chrooted is a great idea, and that's how my httpd is running, but it can be a PITA if you try to install it without understainding how it works. good luck -- Thanos Tsouanas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .: Sians http://thanos.sians.org/ .: http://www.sians.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

People are always working on code looking for holes. Considering the hundred thousand or so lines of code in the source of a FreeBSD system running Apache, it is unrealistic to assume that every single bit of it is completely secure. Even the Motion Picture Association created a hole when they came up with the CSS encryption standard that is used on every DVD sold, and the MPAA has more money than God to throw into coding (well, at least more money than anyone else in the business) in short there is absolutely no guarentee no matter how much money you shit out your arsehole over a project and no matter how much money it's worth to you, that it can be guarenteed to be secure.

RE: One Last Plea For Vinum Assistance
Hi Drew, Please read the following: http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html And follow the instructions exactly. And I mean exactly. Also keep the following in mind, Greg will try to help but note carefully the sentence on this webpage: "Since I wrote it, FreeBSD has changed its I/O structure, breaking many things in Vinum. At the time of writing, a new version, provisionally called gvinum, is being written" I myself have had one serious crash on a vinum RAID volume as a result of a SCSI cable problem that blew away the volume. (2 drives were corrupted, instead of just one, making it impossible for the volume manager to repair by itself) I sent all the info to Greg but ultimately he wasn't able to offer any suggestions on recovering the array so I just wiped it and started over. Note that Greg DID NOT recommend wiping the array. In fact he didn't recommend anything. The lack of any recommendation appears to be his way of telling you "your volume is screwed, wipe it and start over" Like most UNIX commands, if Greg has nothing to offer, he says nothing at all, he won't tell you he has nothing to offer. So, the lack of a response to your original post you can probably take as an answer, to be honest. This did teach me a lesson that I kind of knew already but didn't think too much about. That is, a software array is no substitute for a hardware array. In other words, vinum is a great thing if what your wanting to do is use a bunch of cheap disks and cheap controller cards to either get a giant partition, or to stripe them together and get faster access. But it's not so good if the intent is to get some crash recovery. I don't use and have never used vinum for /etc, /, /usr, /var or any other system partitions. I only use it for partitions that I want to mount AFTER the system is booted. If I were in your shoes I'd nuke your system and start all over again and rethink how I had it laid out. I would use a single disk for the system then take the rest of the disks and put them together under vinum. Then I'd mount that on /ftp and I'd softlink whatever thing is gopping up space under /usr, for example /usr/local/www, to a directory under /ftp Vinum isn't going to give you any crash recovery for /usr so there is really no point in making /usr a vinum volume. Beyond that I really don't understand why you are putting /usr as a vinum volume, espically as you yourself said "Fortunately this volume is up and running or I would really be in a mess" I mean, your basically saying your hitting yourself in the face and you feel fortunate you haven't broken your nose yet. Anyway, one other thing I will bring up: How exactly did you update your system? Did you nuke and repave it? Or did you follow the instructions here EXACTLY: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html If you didn't do one or the other of these things then nobody is going to help you.

Raidframe had been ported to FBSD 5.x, but it was removed because kernel changes broke it, and no one volunteered to fix it. I think gvinum replaced vinum in 5.3 for the same reason. I don't use software raid, so I don't really know. But NBSD 2.0 is very nice. A company that I do consulting for has just chosen it as the OS for a new embedded product in their pipeline. I've been toying with the idea of idea of web-enabling my toaster by hooking up temperature sensors and a camera, so web surfers could make toast at my house.

Although, in the thread you referenced, you said you were having major SMP problems with NBSD. I hope you get those sorted. Those, I would think, are worse than any network and vinum performance problems. In any event you may wish to check back when 5.4 is released.

Right now it is really slow because it is transferring so much with the P2P apps, that it uses up all of my bandwidth. Is there any way that I can put a priority on this so that it gives me the majority of my bandwidth when I want to use scp? The first thing I'd do is throttle the upload on your p2p program, so you don't eat all your b/w. You don't mention which p2p it is, but amule let's you do it and some BitTorrent clients have the option too. Then you could use QoS, either using IPFW or PF. With PF I'd prioritize empty ACKs and then create a queue for ssh with guaranteed b/w. There are plenty of PF tutorials and FAQs out there with examples. Daniel's page has a lot of info on PF (http://www.benzedrine.cx/pf.html). Note that PF is a FreeBSD 5.x-only feature. It's been ported to NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD as well, and it's part of OpenBSD.

That's what I'm using.

You'r right. They are extreamly simple: nat enable yes (in ppp.conf) There is also an 'enable dns' entry which I may play around with some more.

I believe that it can have an influence on how the system tries to resolve hostsnames (since Sun wanted like hell for people to use NIS for this purpose decades ago before security was a consideration...), but I doubt that it's the problem here. In fact, I can now say that it isn't.

What happens is, 'gila' (aka 'srvr') tries to do a reverse dns lookup and hangs until it times out or until it gets back a reply. 'non-existant domain' in this case. The funny thing is that once it gets even _this_ response it happily proceeds. I don't know what it _would_ be unhappy about...it makes the whole test seem rather pointless in addition to being frustrating from my standpoint. The interesting thing is, as I mentioned, when PPP is completely shut down the 'srvr' doesn't seem to even try this reverse DNS lookup silliness (or else maybe it just fails miserably and silently right away.) That makes me think that maybe there is some method of inducing PPP to lie to it's clients (for lack of a better term) about it's status when it is active but not on-line. > > So 'srvr' is looking up 'gw's IP when it _thinks_ there is access > > to a DNS server.

The most obvious way to use them is for people and organizations that cannot afford to buy new machines, and the Third World contains more such people and places than the First World. It makes a lot more sense than trying to sell them Microsoft Longhorn at $400 a pop and requiring them to spend $1000 each on PCs powerful enough to run that OS. Of course, in some countries they just pirate the software, but they still need hefty hardware to run it, and that cannot be pirated.

I wasn't suggesting doing this on an individual basis, but in a more organized way. Additionally, they can recycle their _own_ machines in this way, since for every person with a PC today in the Third World, there are 100 or more without one. If you have an OS that will run on anything, you can continue to use the older PCs indefinitely. If everyone has to run Windows XP SP2, then the older PCs will just gather dust, even though many people still may not have a PC. All of this applies in the developed countries, too, of course. Why throw away two-year-old PCs when you can use them for something else? Indeed, I wonder where all these PCs are going, since people "upgrade" constantly. You'd think there'd be a huge used-PC market, but I hardly ever hear of anyone buying a used PC (and if one is running bloated OS or application software, sometimes only the fastest thing on the block will do). -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
ftp/fetch can not connect to ftp sites.
I am running FreeBSD 5.3 Release p4, upgraded from 5.2.1. Prior to 5.3 p4, I was able to use command line ftp and fetch to access ftp sites. Since the upgrade I have not been able to. I can not connect to ftp.freebsd.org (or mirrors), ftp.x.org, etc. Any port using an http server works fine using portupgrade, but with about 30 ports to upgrade its kind of annoying to manually fetch files :) I do have ipfw setup and running. It is possible that it is a config issue with ipfw, but I am doubtful. The kernel does not have inet6 (ip6) compiled in and occasionally I see the ftp client resolving ip6 addresses which I find odd. It often does this resolving ftp.freebsd.org which I think is hosted at ISC. I've tried ipfw disable firewall and kldunload'ing the ipfw extension in the kernel. I can connect to ftp sites using firefox in x11 and from Linux & windows on the same box with the same ip defined. My cable modem router has this system setup as the dmz. I looked at the fetch man page and it has an environment variable (man 3 fetch) FTP_PASSIVE_MODE. I've toggled this to yes and no in the environment with no effect. Also, I happen to have ip_portrange_first and ip_portrange_last set in /etc/rc.conf to 4000 and 8000 respectively. The system has a custom built kernel with SMP enabled as I have a dual xeon w/ htt disabled. I am at a loss why this is not working. Since I got the cable modem, I've noticed that pasv mode connections are flaky and i usually have to switch to port in windows ftp apps especially if the server on the other end is behind a firewall. I've tried toying with command line flags to ftp also. Sometimes -4 -A -a will get me into some ftp servers command line. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

usbd: Executing umount: Device not configured
Greetings all, I have a Sony DSC-P32 digital camera with a USB interface. I can't get usbd to unmount the camera when it's disconnected, powered off, or detached. I have to remember to execute umount(8) manually before the camera is physically disconnected, or else it stays mounted to a stale device forever (which makes it impossible to use the camera again until a reboot), and an attempt to forcibly unmount the stale device causes the kernel to panic. The relevant entry in /etc/usbd.conf: device "Sony DSC" vendor 0x054c product 0x0010 attach "sleep 1 ; /sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/camera" detach "/sbin/umount /dev/da0s1" It mounts without problems. But when I disconnect the camera, here's what I see (the output was obtained from usbd -dvv): umass0: at uhub1 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device umass0: detached usbd: processing event queue on /dev/usb usbd: device-detach event at 1106184871.250725000, DSC cameras, Sony: vndr=0x054c prdct=0x0010 rlse=0x0450 clss=0x subclss=0x prtcl=0x usbd: Found action 'Sony DSC' for DSC cameras, Sony usbd: action 0: Sony DSC vndr=0x054c prdct=0x0010 attach='sleep 1 ; /sbin/mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/camera' detach='/sbin/umount /dev/da0s1' usbd: Executing '/sbin/umount /dev/da0s1' umount: unmount of /mnt/camera failed: Device not configured usbd: '/sbin/umount /dev/da0s1' returned 1 Not so long ago upgraded from 4.9-RELEASE to 5.3-RELEASE, and this configuration used to work before, but not now. I'm wondering if usbd can execute the detach command before the special device has disappeared, not after the fact, as it seems to be. And I'm also wondering, why does "/sbin/umount -f /dev/da0s1" when /dev/da0s1 does not exist cause a kernel panic? Though, I wouldn't care about it if all worked without this hitch. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Enabling Dell Inspiron 1150 touch pad?
I've just installed 5.3-RELEASE on an Inspiron 1150 (some of you will have seen my questions about this machine a couple of weeks ago). I can't get the touch pad to work. I've tried installing a -CURRENT (as of yesterday) kernel, and there's no improvement. The relevant parts of the dmesg (from a verbose boot) appear to be: psmcpnp0: at irq 12 on isa0 psm0: current command byte:0065 psm0: the aux port is not functioning (-1). The complete dmesg is at http://www.lemis.com/grog/dmesg. Before I go digging, has anybody else seen something like this? Any ideas where to look?

Connection via proxy
I recently had internet service enabled in my dorm and was given instructions on how to configure my web browser to connect via the internet via a proxy server for Windows XP. I was able to successfully set up the internet connection for a the Windows side of my dual boot Windows XP/FREEBSD laptop. Unfortunately I haven't been as successful on the FreeBSD side of my laptop. I have tried setting mozilla to make use of the same proxy settings as I used for IE on my windows XP but I am repeatedly told that mozilla can not find the proxy server. I am not sure if there is anything else that needs to be configured to allow me to connect to the intenet via this proxy server in FreeBSD. Can anyone give a hand.

Re: NAT/DNS question/recommendation?
Tom Huppi wrote: I mean one runs NAT, and the other uses it. I've searched various things and have run into subtle refernences which seem related to my problem (like 'gethostbyname' isn't even supposed to consult /etc/hosts), but nothing specific. Yeah, I sort of guessed that, I was thinking that if you were googling then you should probably search for "freebsd gateway ppp nat". The common lingo is that your "NAT-server" is a gateway/firewall and the "NAT-client" is a host. I think I did mention that the firewall and NAT are as implemented in user-PPP. I could post my rule-set, but it would take a good bit of space. Clearly DNS requests from 'the-machine-using-NAT- but-not-running-it' are dialbound-accept (either that, or user-ppp's firewall is broken.) That is not to say I know these rules are correct, and in fact I had played around with this aspect of the rules earlier to try to aviod spurious dials associated with a windows 'machine-using-NAT', but unless there is a known mechanism associated with the rules which would cause the unhappiness I'm experiancing, it seems a waste of space. OK, let me say first that since I have a permanent connection I haven't messed much with ppp, but this doesn't seem to be your problem. The soluitons I have heard of uses a setup where the pppd (what-ya-call-it) will call up the isp and start the firewall/nat. But fundamentally the firewall/nat is independent of the modem connection. So, what do you use for firewall/nat? ipfw/ipf/pf? I think I can help you with ipf, if you use something else then I'm sure someone can help you once they know they have the knowledge you need. While your filter rules might be long, the nat rules should be quite simple, and typically it's nat that causes problems, so please post that. ssh delays? did you try to type in the ip to see if it was faster? Yup. No change. I should have mentioned that for sure. This is really important because this suggests that there is no problem with your resolv.conf or other named configuration files. I think I get the picture of your network but sometimes it helps a lot if you scetch the network with a ascii-diagram, add ip's etc. - 172...20 ip-by-ppp | - 172...8 || | net <-> gw <-> srvr | | | info, u-ppp, dfrtr:isp's dns server porn, w/fw /etc/hosts: 8 srvr.made-up-dom srvr trash, w/nat. ...20 gw.made-up-dom gw etc.defrt set /e/nsswitch.conf: files dns by uppp. no ipv6ipv6 (and 4) Ah, I see, dfrtr is default router? It shouldn't be the isp but the internal ip of your gw. Otherwise you might get some strange behaviour (which you seem to have). I just realized that I am setting 'defaultdomain' in the server's /etc/rc.conf in spite of the fact that I'm not currently running NIS in my local network. I'll try getting rid of that to see if it helps. Note that nis domain and dns domain is _not_ the same. Setting your default domain in rc.conf sets the nis default domain, and has absolutely nothing to do with dns. BTW, here's the salient part of a tcpdump on the tun0 interface when I ssh from 'gw' to 'srvr': 10:32:36.698042 IP gila.62914 > king.dialoregon.net.domain: 63948+ PTR? 20.0.16.172.in-addr.arpa. (42) 10:32:36.990638 IP king.dialoregon.net.domain > gila.62914: 63948 NXDomain 0/1/0 (119) Ok, sorry, I'm used to snort output, but good idea, try sniff and dump so you can see what happens in slow. So 'srvr' is looking up 'gw's IP when it _thinks_ there is access to a DNS server. That's what I thought. Question is, 'how to make it stop?' Here's my /etc/hosts: --- ::1 localhost localhost.huppih.com 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.huppih.com 172.16.0.8 gila.huppih.com gila 172.16.0.20 agama.huppih.com agama Typo or copy/paste error? One ip per line. In the above 172.16.0.20 becomes an alias for 172.16.0.8 (if it makes sense at all). Just knowing that someone has a similar setup and it works would be of significant help since it would tell me if there even is a solution. Else, and also very good would be to know that it's an intractable problem with the tools I use. I think that when you get to that point it's time to start clean and be systematic. Remove anything that might blur the picture, unneeded services and stuff.

Hi Anthony, I've seen Windows machines "lose" CD-ROM or floppy drives, on perfectly working systems. You may find that booting the installation CD-ROM of some FreeBSD version locates the floppy drive just fine. > Can anyone tell me how to install FreeBSD on a machine that is running > Windows NT and refuses to boot from CD or from diskette?

Your best choise may be to install by physically moving the disk to an other system. Then you can return the disk to the Vectra system and let it boot. If you are a bit careful during the installation process _not_ to make configuration changes that depend on the particular sort of hardware the 'install' system has, you shouldn't face any show-stoppers when you move the disk back to the Vectra. When the Vectra boots into FreeBSD, you can configure the network locally and you're set to go :-) - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

in named.conf,
options {

};
should cause the server to listen on 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 and no

Re: different behaviour between 4.x and 5.x (ping response/disk io) [was Re: ]
stheg olloydson wrote: (Sorry about the multiple posts. I somehow sent this without a subject line before.) Never mind. Nobody's perfect. ;) To sum up your problem, you tested "FreeBSD 5.3, NetBSD 2.0, FreeBSD 4.11 and an elder version of the Knoppix (Linux 2.4) CD" and found that FreeBSD 4.11RC2 had the best ping responses from that group. What you want to know is why FBSD 5.3 doesn't respond as well as 4.11RC2. Is this correct? You got me right. Assuming that it is, the answer is that 5.3 is the first stable release of the 5.x branch. One of the 5.x branch's main purposes is to make FBSD much more scalable in terms SMP support. Doing this requires removing the Giant lock. It had been hoped that the removal process would be finished in time for 5.3. Unfortunately, as often happens in a volunteer project delays occurred for various reasons, that was not the case. The incomplete removal meant that not all subsystems could be optimized properly. One of those subsystems is networking. This is not as bad as it sounds because while 5.3's network performance is not as good as 4.11RC2, it is no worse that of NBSD 2.0 or any Linux distro. Also, the optimization has already begun on networking and 5.4 should be _at least_ as good as 4.x. Also, as you saw yourself, using an SMP kernel in FBSD 5.3 doesn't cause a performance hit in networking but it does in NBSD 2.0. So your choices seem to be use 4.11RC2 (full release due shortly) to get the best network response, 5.3 to get as good performance as NBSD 2.0 but with SMP, or use NBSD 2.0 to get as good perfomance as 5.3 but without SMP. Of course, you can wait until NBSD (your prefered OS) performs as well as FBSD, but that may be a lnng time.:) Just a few day ago i installed NetBSD 2.0 to make a final stroke to my decision as i got this computer on the 16. of november. Main advantage in my opinion is that raidframe performs better than vinum (at least with my setup and with the tests i performed). There are some other topics but mainly subjective and not the matter of this email. I guess i'm going to stick with it, developers and time will do the rest for me. :) But what's most important is that your mail gave me the confidence that my hardware isn't faulty. It's also very nice that you shed some light on the that whole network subject. P.S. (to the list in general) Why do all of the questions about FBSD performance, especially 4.x vs 5.x, come from people posting from Windows boxes? Theories? In my case i'm using windows because it's pre-installed on the laptop i use and i never had luck with *bsd/linux on the desktop (and especially laptops). Did you ever recognize the difference between Firefox/Mozilla Browser for Windows and the versions für FreeBSD? Even only compiled with GTK1 Firefox/Mozilla will load the cpu up to 100% when there are some tabs (>10-20) opened. I know that this is a matter of unsupported graphic cards with X.org (that whole proprietary stuff annoys me a lot..) but i don't want to suffer for my beliefs. If there only would be ratpoison or xfce for windows.. Well, enough said. (Maybe i'll make some space free for FreeBSD 5.3 to give a try but i'm not to optimistic that it will suffice my needs) Thanks for your kind assistance and best regards, Jochen Keil ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Put the following line into your named.conf's options section:
listen-on { };
In case you use IPv6, the directive is listen-on-v6 IIRC.
Kind regards,

In named.conf something like
options {
listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1 ; your_address ; };
transfer-source your_address port 53;
notify-source your_address port 53;
work fine.
Regards.

Are you also tired of the AOL guy?
Dear [EMAIL PROTECTED], I'm tired of your bullshit. Not only you have no friggin' idea of what you talk about 90% of the time, but you never provide a solution for those 'problems' you claim to have with FreeBSD 5.3. That [EMAIL PROTECTED] guy may be a moron, but at least he doesn't claim to be a kernel guru like you've done. Of course, you haven't submitted any patch to fix those deficiencies present in FreeBSD but expect, in a classic Brett Glass style, that someone will step in and do the job for you. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Put up or shut up. To the people who have suggested that he takes a look at DragonFlyBSD. Please, DON'T. The last thing DFly needs is someone like this guy. There was some ocasional trolling on the lists in the past (mainly performed by Bosko) but it's been a very nice place so far. Instead, my suggestion is that you team up with Dag-Erling Smorgrav. Both of you love to make condescending remarks and both of you suffer from chronic asshole-ism. You're going to be very good friends.

I'm gradually migrating legacy aps off my older NT server and I think it might be extremely interesting to install FreeBSD on that machine once it is free--if only I could persuade it to boot from diskette (for some reason, the diskette drive no longer seems to be recognized by the OS). It's an old HP Vectra, but like all vintage HP high-end machines, it still works perfectly, after nearly a decade of continuous use.

Re: ATi and Xorg Troubles in FreeBSD 5.3
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Doug A short update ;-) I have uninstalled Xorg an installed XF86 from the FreeBSD ports (was quite tricky because the XF86 ports are not on the official freebsd server's) But, All in all the same situation at the first start with XF86, 1024x480, 8 bit colour. Then I configured XF86 with the GUI version of xf86cfg (easier to choose the drivers as in the CLI version ;-) After this I shutdown and restart X and the I had 800x600 with 16 Bit. So this is enough for me, I am quite happy with my FreeBSD 5.3 WindowMaker locks a little bit strange but is is fast and stable. If I find the time, I will try to tune XF86 to 1024x480. If I have News about it, I drop ya a Mail. and btw : If you have slow computers, try windowmaker. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/x11-wm/windowmaker/pkg-descr Fast, needs not a lot of resources and easy to customize.

The development snapshots list pretty specifically what was fixed in each snapshot. You can download binaries for FreeBSD and these are pretty quick to install (10-15 mins after the first one). The XFree86 newbie list is pretty helpful; subscribe and post your question there. If any of the above works, I would then drop back to 4.11 unless you do not mind using ports (rather than packages). My Unix workstations and laptops are far too slow to consider building X or KDE. BTW if the above is wrong I would sure like to be clued in. Aside from the fact that the packages are built with Xorg, some of the low level dependencies have mutually exclusive version dependencies. Portupgrade may allow the use of packages by rewriting the dependencies. I would think Xorg and XFree are still compatible at the BPI level.

Clearly DNS requests from 'the-machine-using-NAT- but-not-running-it' are dialbound-accept (either that, or user-ppp's firewall is broken.) That is not to say I know these rules are correct, and in fact I had played around with this aspect of the rules earlier to try to aviod spurious dials associated with a windows 'machine-using-NAT', but unless there is a known mechanism associated with the rules which would cause the unhappiness I'm experiancing, it seems a waste of space. BTW, it does seem that when the user-ppp daemon is shut down completely, these delay's _don't_ exist, and the problem is similarly non-noticable when the connection is actually established (in spite of the fact that, obviously, my local hostnames are not known to the global internet.) If someone knows, for instance, that DNS requests from 'the-machine-not-running-NAT-but-using-it' will quickly and silently give up _or_ revert to files upon hitting a dialbound-blocked rule, I can certainly make it so. Obviously I don't want to block DNS requests from the 'machine-not-running-NAT'. > You are trying to automount what? nfs, smbfs? NFS.

I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 on my server and it has periods it's just 100% idle. I'm running some perl scripts every five minutes, but that doesn't put too much load in the machine either. As a matter of fact, it's rare that the machine has a higher load of 0.15. And I'm running quite a bit of things on that machine (Apache, MySQL, Postfix, amavisd with spamassassin and clamav, RRDtool, SNMP, samba and some more stuff). Though it's a Pentium 4 2 Ghz with 512 MB ram, but I don't have any other hardware. Figured I might as well make it a relatively fast machine. Either way, I never want another server OS again.
