AW: [suse-security] Very Slow Network-I need some help!
Hello, How can squid run without a writeable file system ? Is there a hard drive in the firewall witch only is used by squid ? Slow Networks can be based on false DNS-Configurations CU Robert -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Paul Ikanza [mailto:PIkanza@newvision.co.ug] Gesendet: Freitag, 27. August 2004 13:45 An: suse-security@suse.com Betreff: [suse-security] Very Slow Network-I need some help! Hi Everyone, im running suse firewall on CD for my squid. It works in such a way that when the server boots, it actually boots from the cd-rom drive and picks some files from a floppy diskette (Which can be edited to suit one's need). It is therefore really secure in that a hacker would not write onto the CD-they can only go as far as maybe viewing the contents. I am however experiencing really slow network speeds as in really slow! I need ideas on how I can possibly troubleshoot that problem and if any one is actually using this procedure for a firewall, bring me upto speeed on it.

If you use a ramdisk :)

What's your connectionbandwidth? What services do you use on the firewall (dns-cache, squid)? Do you block ident instead of dropping it? What goes slow? The problems can remain not only on false dns configuration but on false rulessets for the firewall. Philippe
