Basically it's a i386 FreeBSD 6.3 system with mpd-5.1 and 1 GB Ram. Users can connect without any problem. After a few minutes a SECOND mpd process is initiated and this one consumes all idle processing of the host. Whoever is connected before that still remains connected but no new user can get in anymore. Also logging stops being generated. The only solution is a killall -KILL on mpd. On another host I have the same configuration working as expected but with less than 50 clients. Both configurations are the same from mpd.conf.sample. So I'm looking for any suggestions that somebody has been using to handle that many pppoe connections (100+) with mpd. Thanks, -- Einstein Oliveira einstein@yawl.com.br ___________________________________________________ Yawl Internet Ltda. http://www.yawl.com.br/
