1. Not likely, but not impossible... To Quote a source The /dev/random device hands out "high-quality" random bits, up to the limit of the "random" information it has been seeded with. The /dev/urandom device does not have this limitation. It continues to hand out bits of decreasing quality as lon

Hm! I did some additional reading after receiving this, and it seems that pursuing the random number generator path is the way to go... A coupla quick questions (that I think are likely going to be answered with "it depends" answers): 1. Is nuking /dev/random in the way described going to hav

Cyrus could lag at this stage if there is a problem reversing its own IP. With the 'listen' argument specified as is, I would think it would be reversing 127.0.0.1 (or possibly the main IP on the box?). Make sure that you have both of these IPs specified in the hosts file. Also make sure that your

Rick, This problem is related to Debian using /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom. Short term solution would be to rm /dev/random mknod /dev/random c 1 9 The other solution for you would be to recompile the sources and change the configure to use urandom instead of random... You can search the

On note #3, I imagine changing to a 2.6 kernel has to do with the entropy pool in /dev/random as it differs in 2.4 from 2.6 Scott Andy Fiddaman wrote: > On Tue, 11 Sep 2007, Rick Kunkel wrote: > > ; # telnet mail 143 > ; Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx... > ; Connected to mail. > ; Escape character is '^]

Cyrus lagging accepting IMAP connections

Hello all, I'm new to Cyrus. Historically, I've used Qpopper, Sendmail, and UW IMAP. We recently switched to Cyrus for IMAP. It came highly recommended... We've got this on a darned burly machine, running some very recent version of Debian, with a fast CPU, 4GB RAM, and fast SAS drives. When

2007-09-11 Thread Paul M Fleming
I had the same problems. if you google for this you'll find a discussion regarding how SASL context expires should be handled. Heimdal allows expired contexts to be used after expiration. MIT does not. 1) indefinitely long means the default lifetime of your KDC or the individual keys involved.

GSSAPI Murder authentication and "The context has expired" on long proxyd sessions

2007-09-11 Thread Nik Conwell
My frontends authenticate to the backends using GSSAPI. Every 5 hours the frontends do a kinit to get a TGT to talk to the backend and all is good. However, if the frontend imap (proxyd) is proxying a session for more than 10 hours I get: imaps[3207]: GSSAPI Error: The context has expi
