Next step is to get a good handle on how resources are consumed by the system. Tuning is usually goal oriented. It involves answering the following questions in this order: What level of performance might I expect from my system? Why is it not achieving that level? What can I do to change that? Did my changes do what I expected them to do? You might also want to look at netstat, accton, sa, rrd from the ports collection, tcpdump and tcpshow. BTW, Check to be sure that you are mailing plain text. -- Chris Fedde To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
