[...] Yes, it does, and pretty well. Brian Tao also has it running, I believe, as may Joe Greco (sp?). I had problems kicking up the values for the sharedactives correctly, so I ended up dumping that stuff altogether and running the following in my config file: options SYSVSHM #options "SHMMAXPGS=4096" # 4096kb (?) of sharable memory options SYSVSEM # enable for semaphores options SYSVMSG # enable for messaging Note that I commented out the SHMMAXPGS option--i was having problems figuring out the right size, so I got rid of it and it worked much better (the number off to the side is very wrong, I'm pretty sure). Note that the patch, I believe, defaults to presuming that you have < 15000 groups. Since this is only debatably true if you carry everything (e.g. lots and lots of regionals), you may need to change this. At the moment, on our server: news# wc -l /usr/local/news/lib/active 17316 /usr/local/news/lib/active and that works fine. Our machine really benefits from the sharedactive patches. Just today we had 50-60 readers on a 64 Meg machine, with what appears to be plenty of RAM left. bryan Bryan K.
