I'm running Redhat 7.0 w/ wu-ftpd 2.6.1-16. The system is a PII 450, with 128MB RAM. It's serving http requests for webmail (which doesn't get used much at all), e-mail, telnet, and ftp.
The system does seem a little taxed, but I'm just chalking it up to trying to serve too much from too old a box. The problem I'm curious about is the ftpd, however. All requests take a little bit, but ftp is rediculous. A connection is made quickly, but the login prompt doesn't appear for a seeminly random length of time afterward. Sometimes it's immediate, and sometimes it's twenty seconds later. It just doesn't seem like it should take that long, considering what little the server is doing otherwise.
In xinetd, I put the nice variable for ftpd back to zero, but that didn't seem to change anything. I dunno. Any suggestions to fix it, or at least a little insight to what's going on?
Thanks,
Andre
