Hi, No, changing this won't have any significant impact on performance. Ensure the timeout is reasonable - a few minutes at least, as some clients may be idle for extended periods while users read/write posts or otherwise leave the client inactive while doing other things. Reconnecting has some overhead. In particular, if you have caching of user authentication disabled, reconnection of authenticated users would result in a additional database lookups, which are often quite slow. - Roydon L. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: netwin.dnews To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 3:17 AM Subject: i want to ask... timeout setting... > timeout setting in dnews.conf > default is 120 right? > > what if i set to timeout 30 or smaller? > will if affect the performance? thanks! > > >
