------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-02-27 01:05 ------- Thanks David. Some comments: First, of course, we really need patches against the 3.0 tree in SVN. We may not release a 2.64 and even if we do, it might not include this and we'd still need 3.0 code regardless. > 1. Supports a new function, age_out_awl, which allows for aging of the > white list. By default, when called, it will delete any unused entries > older than 30 days. Time can be specified via epoch seconds, or any > string that Date::Manip can parse. I think we don't want a special call for this. It should just happen. At most, we should have a configuration option for how long to keep these, but I think even that is probably excessive and unwanted. > 2. Provide support for quick removal of AWL entries even in a gigantic > white list. This is done by linking in tandem with the existing white > list another file indicating which keys are in use. Sounds good, I guess. > 3. Provide support for wild-card AWL entries when entered from the > command line. This really belongs in a different bug. > When a large white list is aged out, the DB file doesn't get any > smaller. I don't know any way around this except to delete the existing > list and make a new one with the same name. Existing DB file, you mean. Yes, I think shrinking is a must given how large AWL must be by now. It might be easiest just to nuke it and start from scratch.
