Take a look at www-servers/tux There's an overview at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUX_web_server Tux is a set of kernel patches that produces a lean/mean in-kernel web server. For security reasons, it doesn't do dynamic web pages, but it can selectively hand off requests for dynamic content to Apache, etc. For serving out files, it's easily enough. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q.

It's only jsut happened so probably hasn't filtered through to p.g.o yet.
If Boa is indeed a gonner, what would you recommend I use to share my
distfiles with other boxen on my LAN?
NFS?

If Boa is indeed a gonner, what would you recommend I use to share my distfiles with other boxen on my LAN? nfs. I have been using nfs for portage and distfiles with much success so far. I find that nfs access for portage is only a little slower than having it on a local, unoptimized partition. I save lots of time with this method, since my new hosts on the network have instant portage trees without having to wait for that long portage extraction. I mount /usr/portage read-only and then distfiles read-write over the top so that I can save new downloads if I need to. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Took some time to look at the bug and it seems that thttpd is suggested as a valid replacement which unlike continues to be maintained. @Neil: I haven't looked much into NFS because it seems more involved (running portmap also has security aspects to consider) than just running a little server every now and then - but may be I'm wrong. -- Regards, Mick pgpWHj1abmvRa.pgp Description: PGP signature
