This relates back to the original problem of the ddp connection being
dropped and the child remaining active -- thus using up the available
children. There is definetly something broken, but can't figure out
what it is. I was trying to side step the problem by only using ASIP,
but the older macs won't cooperate (of course). I believe the problem
is on the linux side, since I have two machines at different netatalk
levels that do it, and one that does not (much older with isa cards).
I've read somewhere that once upon a time there was a problem with
the tulip.c driver and am wondering if that somehow is contributing
to this problem. What I don't understand is why the child afpd
process does not close when the connection terminates -- bug in
afpd?? Granted, the connection should not terminate at all, but if it
does at least the child should clean itself up.
Any insight into the dropped connection issue would be greatly
appreciated.
hosts.allow has afpd atalkd : subnet : allow line
afpd.conf is blank
atalkd.conf is blank
host is single homed
os 2.2.14 - netatalk asun 2.1.3
os 2.2.7 - netatalk vanilla 1.42b
both exhibit the same dropout characteristics,
both us tulip pci cards, haven't tried another vendor yet
