[leaf-user] Increasing ip_conntrack_max and hashsize

2004-04-05 Thread Charles Steinkuehler
My new Bering firewall stopped passing new traffic recently (lots of 
ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet. messages), sending me on a 
quest which resulted in uncovering the following bits of wisdom:

- The default sizes for ip_conntrack_max and hashsize (the number of 
seperate connections that can be tracked, and the size of the hash table 
that keeps track of them, repsectively) defaults to a percentage of your 
total memory size.  This percentage is geared towards a 'general use' 
workstation with lots more memory (and fewer connections to track) than 
a typical special-purpose firewall box.

- The hash table works much better when it's size is a prime number.

Details can be found in the following document:
http://www.wallfire.org/misc/netfilter_conntrack_perf.txt
Note that you can increase ip_conntrack_max at runtime, but the hash 
table size can only be adjusted when loading the ip_conntrack module (or 
at compile time, if compiled into the kernel).

A handy table of prime numbers good for hash table sizes can be found at

[leaf-user] OT: UPX v1.11

2004-04-05 Thread Vic Berdin
Hi,

I've been searching for a downloadable source of the said upx version.
An attemp to log to cvs using:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/upx login 
fails.

Any help/link/e-mail attachment with complete (tgz/bz2) buildable source 
is very much appreciated.

I'm also inclined to accept a pre-built binary of upx v1.11 out of
desperation. I need it for Kernel compression (obviously).

TIA - Vic

Vic,
I'm getting errors from pserver too. I've had reports that the problem
is intermittent, so trying again may work. In any case, I assume it's a
situation the SF.net staff will attend to shortly.

Error:
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
messages if any)
