I've got a geographically dispersed group of people that want to use Linux/390 for an irc server to facilitate realtime problem collaboration. (Yeah, Intel might have been a better choice, but hey...) I set it up for them using the ircd that comes with SuSE 7.0, and everything seemed to be fine, until more people started using it. Just today, people started seeing this when they tried to connect: [12:58] *** [10054] Connection reset by peer - [12:58] *** Disconnected
If someone disconnects, then another person can connect, but not otherwise. When I do a netstat from an ssh session, I see a total of 40 connections to port 6667. An irc /list command shows a total of 83 or so channel "members." I checked my Y-line in /etc/ircd/ircd.conf, and it has this: Y:14:90::950:512000:3.3:3.3 Supposedly, the 950 number is the maximum number of connections the server will accept, so we're nowhere near that. Does anyone have any idea what might be the knob I need to tweak? Mark Post
