I ran into something similar with high load on a web server hosting homepages.. Load in the 40's..
If you have the user data base in NIS.. (i.e. passwd) Make sure that you do not have it in the password file as well.. Or.. Make sure that the search order is NIS -> PASSWD file If the password file is searched every login ( sequentally ) that might create a high load even if the user exists in NIS.. Just my 2 cents.. /Sqm > On Mon, 15 Nov 2004 11:21:56 -0500, Lesli St. Clair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> Hi All, >> I've been struggling with SquirrelMail for two months.
