Sounds like you want `Anybody' in the above-mentioned file. You
probably want to consider security here as well.

I'm just guessing, but perhaps leafnode is timing out when communicating with
your news server. You can increase the timeout value in leafnode/config.

Subject: avmailgate, invalid username?
Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 13:27:02 +0000 (UTC)
Hi,
Probably a pretty stupid question: when I start avmailgate (a sendmail
virusscanner) the program always says 'Invalid user name' no matter what
username I try (like uucp, mail, root). I'm using Linux RedHat 5.2, I know,
ancient.
In fact, avmailgate should start to listen at port 25 (yes, I did kill
sendmail).
It seems to me the users I tried just haven't sufficient rights (root?!?) to
open that port?
Any suggestions?
Greetz,
Rembert.

Subject: 4GB RAM Problem...
Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 15:35:59 +0200
Hi folks,
recently we got a new computer with these features:
2 PIII-CPUs
4 GB ECC-RAM (4 DIMMs)
Supermicro 370DL3 Mainboard
OS: SuSE Linux 7.1
Kernel: SMP-Kernel with Support for more than 4 GB of RAM
Wen encountered a strange effect: when we use only 3 Gigs of the RAM (with
one DIMM removed) the computer behaves absolutely normal and shows its
expected performance.
But if we put the fouth DIMM it gets very slow, e.g. needs the double time
for a numerical matrix decomposition. Even the bootup time increases
dramatically.
We tried various different kernels:
SuSE precompiled 2.2.18-SMP
SuSE precompiled 2.4-SMP
selfcompiled 2.4-SMP-4GB
selfcompiled 2.4-SMP-64GB
But all kernels have the same behavior! In the moment we put the 4. DIMM to
get the full 4 Gigs we get slow...
Has anybody got some experiance with this kind of problem?
Best regards,

It's really hard to say not seeing your leafnode config file. Have you
stated the appropriate l/pswd info for CIS.DFN in your config file?
Have you tried using fetchnews from the console manually with the -vvv
option? That should give you more verbose info.

Hi Dustin,
I don't think so.. The whole procedure takes almost 3 seconds. And it
checks out 2 servers one ofter the other.. Considering the 10 seconds
default timeout, the problem seems to be something else.
I attached my config file in the other post in the f'up for steve. You can

Subject: possible memory leak?
From: John Hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 09 May 2001 08:57:54 -0500
Sorry for the cross post, but I don't know if this is a C++ or a OS
question.
I have a program which computes the same statistics for many points.
For each point, the total memory usage of the program should be about
the same. When I do a 'ps -uU jdhunter' to see the memory that the
program is using, it is growing over time (as do the number of points
investigated).
My worry is that with each point, which I investigate sequentially, I
have a memory leak.
My hope is that the OS is allocating ever more memory to the process
as it finds it doesn't need it for other jobs. Admittedly I am not
optimistic. The output of the ps command is now
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
jdhunter 24430 92.8 75.2 203712 193672 pts/3 R 08:41 13:25 gnuron -d reversa
on a 128MB system. Am I to infer from the ps output that this program
has now consumed 128 * 0.75 = 96MB of memory.
If it is the former, can someone offer some advice or tools for
diagnosing and tracing this problem down? It is a largish application
(165 files and headers).
God help me.

I just installed Suse Linux 7.1 on an UltraSparc a couple of days ago.
After I installed it and tried to boot, I got an error message that the
kernel was panicking because it could not find init (file init/main.c,
function init(void * unused)). I reinstalled Suse and it booted ok.
Last night we had a power failure and now the machine is showing the same
error again. I booted from the CDROM in rescue mode and mounted /dev/hda4
(the / directory of the HD). The file /sbin/init is there and runs ok. I
also mounted /dev/hda1 (/boot) and it looks ok (silo.conf is not
corrupt).
We now have some critical data on the machine and I can't copy it off.
Any ideas?

If the number of points investigated increase, then surely the memory
requirement will as well. Were you expecting it to stay constant.

That is not how memory allocation normally works - memory will be allocated
to your process, regardless of other jobs requirement until you run out of
memory resources.

I'd suggest looking at the code first, particularly where you allocate new
data points. If you can't see the error then you may need to use a tool such
as Purify, but these can produce an alarming number of "false positives" if
you don't have some idea of where the problem is in the first place.

In 2.4.* it is considered too expensive to bother calculating the amount of
shared memory. For compatibility with tools like top(1), /proc/meminfo
always reports 0 now.

Another possibility is that one should also use the "pad fill" parameter

You can also stop gpm with:
/sbin/service gpm stop
To keep it from running at boot run:
ntsysv
and unselect gpm.
Might also check bugzilla and see if anyone else is having similar problems.

You have a specific class in mind. Good.
Create a global variable, call it NrOfPoints and initialize
it to zero. In the constructor of the class (as well
as in the copy constructor, if you don't have one, create one)
increment NrOfPoints and in the destructor decrement it.
When the program is about to terminate, at the end of main()
output NrOfPoints. If it's 0 again, your program does not
leak (at least not with respect to the Point class)
