Hi David, Did you perhaps upgrade the openssl or Net::SSLeay packages recently? A change in one of them could cause a problem like this. If you upgraded openssl, it may be worth re-installing the Net::SSLeay Perl module. - Jamie -----Original Message----- From: David Gibbs <da...@mi...> Subj: [webmin-l] Logging in via https consumes memory Date: Thu 10 Nov 2005 11:50 am Size: 944 bytes To: web...@li... I've got webmin 1.240 installed on a fedora core 4 system. Up until recently, SSL access to the system worked fine. All of a sudden, when I try to login via https, the webmin perl process starts eating up all the available memory until the system crashes. I've been reconfiguring the system recently ... so it's quite possible that I removed something that I shouldn't have ... but I have no idea what it is that I removed. Any suggestions? thanks! david ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

According to the CPAN installer, it's up to date. I'll try forcing a re-install to see if that helps at all. david |

Hey all, I have to setup a DNS server and that is it. I have an old machine that runs to slow using Red Hat 9.0 and/or Debian 3.0. Does any one have an suggestions for a very low overhead OS for this purpose? Thanks -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. |

Does any one > have an suggestions for a very low overhead OS for this purpose? What sort of hardware are you talking about? Try RedHat 7.3. It's still supported by the Fedora Legacy project; I found it ran fine on P100/32M and up. If that's too heavy, try 7.0 - but note that there is NO security support provided for free anywhere I know of. It sure won't be running Webmin if it's that ancient and creaky... -kgd -- Get your mouse off of there! You don't know where that email has been! |

Without a GUI/X any current distro should work. CentOS and Ubuntu are good depending on your taste. A good discussion (but terrible colors) at http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux/oldpc/ |

Slackware is about the only big-name distro that still installs esily on low-memory old hardware even with modern releases. The other distros seem to all require 64MB or more for their ramdisk. Not coincidentally, I'm running slackware on my 486 secondary DNS server. --Danny |

Does any one have an > suggestions for a very low overhead OS for this purpose? I've found a basic Debian install to be excellent in low memory situations. I wouldn't install X or any desktop stuff on a server, but if you needed to there are debs for quite a few small window managers. I've just started using wmii-3 on all of my desktops due to some mouse-related RSI pain, and it's too small to believe--the source download is about 50k, including docs and a bunch of extras! It's really strange at first, but everything is keyboard-controllable and there is no temptation to grab the mouse to resize things or move them once you get accustomed to its keyboard shortcuts. Someone else suggested "anything but leave out X" but even without X and Gnome, Fedora is pretty hefty if you're talking really small systems. I once spent time stripping it down to a 512MB image for installation on a flash device...I had intended to take it down to 256MB, but it took a week to get it to 512, so I stopped spending time on it and spent a few bucks on bigger flash rather than spend another weak weeding it down more. SUSE is even bigger in a non-GUI install. Mandrake is a little better. Gentoo can be small (but compiling all the time on an old box would be a stupid waste of time, even moreso than on a fast box). And, of course, a stock FreeBSD is tiny. Out of all of those, I'd pick Debian for a very small system (but Fedora for anything not very small...anything with 128MB of RAM and a 10GB disk is not very small, regardless of CPU and other stuff, and runs the latest Fedora just fine if you leave off X). |

I concur with this. Debian should install with 64MB, and run with 32MB,
quite comfortable using the latest release. The key, of course, is to
remove everything that you don't want running on the system.
Regards,
Daniel
