The only user who actually can log into the system is myself. I've got POPPER running, and it seems to time-out alot. The users who access POP mail are doing so via dial-up connections to the system through a Livingston Portmaster. For those who may be interested, the machine is also doing RADIUS user authentication for the Livingston units. The RADIUS authentications also lag out extensively on occasion. Anybody have any ideas what could be going wrong ? Or... in light of the limited services that the machine is servicing, how to optimize the performance of the system as a whole ? There is no reason why a P5-120 should be gagging like this. E-Mail responses always preffered and findings will be posted back to the group by myself. Thanks.
