Hmm, according to ovdb documentation: https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/ovdb.html readserver When the readserver parameter is true, the nnrpds will access overview via a helper server (ovdb_server -- which is started by ovdb_init). This can also result in cleaner shutdowns for the database, improving stability and avoiding deadlocks and corrupted databases. If you are experiencing any instability in ovdb, try setting this parameter to true. Default is false. A nice way to say that bugs exist :) I would suggest to set the default value of this parameter to true in the samples and documentation of the upcoming INN 2.6.2 release, and mention the above issues as a cave-at if this parameter is changed to false. I believe it will prevent people from having a bad experience like you had with ovdb. Any objection to that change? (Incidentally, do you think other default parameters should be adjusted?) -- Julien ?LIE ??Et s'il n'en reste qu'un, je serai celui-l??!??
