All the fwtk proxies are launched from inetd. The BSD/OS 1.1 inetd (at least in the binary-only distribution) disables services that experience more than 40 connections/min. This can happen with the Web proxy with a very few users. The parameter isn't tunable without a recompile in 1.1, but 2.0 inetd has a command-line option to set the connection rate at which services are disabled. Unfortunately the man page misdocuments the default rate at 1000 connection/min. Again (according to BSDI support) the default is 40/min. -Robert -- Robert Dana <bob@worldcom.com> (713) 650-6522 UNIX and IP Network Engineer, Sendmail Guru in training Wolf Communications, Houston, TX Go WorldCom!
