Hello,
I seem to be experiencing a performance issue with my IPM box.
A general outline follows.....
I have about 50 users all talking to a Notes server all day, through 1 IPM box,
running Caldera Linux, kernel version 2.0.35. The box is a P100, 16MB RAM, with
2
3com 3c509 nic's. All my users (myself included) experience delays accessing
their
mail, etc.
If I ping 20k to the notes machine through the IPM I get a 80ms round trip, if I
ping from the same network I get a 30-40ms round trip.
I am about to upgrade to 3com 3c905 PCI cards, so we shall see
The machine is not swapping at all, so I discount RAM.....however, inspecting
the
task list reveals this process:
USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
nobody 929 99.9 1.9 832 264 ? R May 2 42900:35 in.identd -w -t120
Ok, so I could use a faster processor, but I will learn nothing if that cures
it....this command is initialized in inetd.conf, but I don't know what it is!!
This is the IPM script I use at startup....

Perhaps I am missing something?
Help!!
