Those capable of accessing the WWW might prefer to use the WWW interface available via http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/www-key.html and managers of sites which may want to make frequent lookups may care to copy the full keyring from the FTP server at ftp://ftp.pgp.net/pub/pgp/keys/ This service exists only to help transfer keys between PGP users. It does NOT attempt to guarantee that a key is a valid key; use the signatures on a key for that kind of security. Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages. The commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line. ---------------------------------------------- ======== ----- Note that they should NOT be included in the body of the message. --------------------- === --------------------------------------- To: pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net From: johndoe@some.site.edu Subject: help Sending your key to ONE server is enough. After it processes your key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically. For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key if it is already there, send a message similar to the following to any server: To: pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net From: johndoe@some.site.edu Subject: add -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- COMPROMISED KEYS: Create a Key Revocation Certificate (read the PGP docs on how to do that) and mail your key to the server once again, with the ADD command.

If you *REALLY* need the whole index file or key ring, *PLEASE* ftp it from a key server such as "ftp://ftp.pgp.net/pub/pgp/keys/" or one of the national servers. NOTE: PGP is extremely slow when operating on large keyrings. Adding the full ring of the keyserver to your own ring will take several *MONTHS* to complete. ADDRESSES TO USE: Users should normally use the email address "pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net" or your national servers using one of: pgp-public-keys@keys.at.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.au.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.cz.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.de.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.es.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.fi.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.hr.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.hu.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.kr.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.nl.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.no.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.pl.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.se.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.tw.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.uk.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@keys.us.pgp.net for the email interface, "ftp://ftp.pgp.net/pub/pgp/" for FTP, and "http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/" for WWW access.

I've got one server here that's desperately in need of more memory but it typically services around 2500 connections a day. Another cvsup server I've got access to at another site services roughly the same number per day. The reason I'm asking is I'm cleaning up some servers that vaporized on us. I've started to take over a dead server's name on a large server here for at least a day before I turn it over to a new volunteer site because of the inevitable slamming that happens when a new server takes over for one that had been down for a while. I've done this a couple times now and despite the initial load once things settle down a bit I've been seeing the same typical number - on average around 2500 connects a day. Until now... I just took over cvsup5 for a bit because it had been down. In less than 6 hours it's serviced about 11,000 connects. And I'm not seeing tons of "Tree comp failure..." messages, the huge majority are reporting success. It's been pegged at the 30 connect limit ever since I made the DNS change almost 6 hours ago... So, just kind of wondering what people normally see as average traffic for a day. If cvsupd has been running all the time your machine has been up simply taking the current connect number it's allocating and dividing by the number of days it's been up is close enough. :-) I'm kind of wondering if the number of hits you get is a function of what cvsupN number you get - when people first set themselves up they start at cvsup1 and go up until they find one that doesn't say its full and then set up their cron job to use that one... :-) -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | From owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 19 17:04:13 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2198716A4CE for ; Tue, 19 Oct 2004 17:04:13 +0000 (GMT) Received: from hex.databits.net (hex.databits.net [216.118.117.77]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8CB2043D54 for ; Tue, 19 Oct 2004 17:04:12 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from will@csociety.org) Received: by hex.databits.net (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 17BBF57B11; Tue, 19 Oct 2004 12:04:12 -0500 (CDT) Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 12:04:12 -0500 From: Will Andrews To: Ken Smith Message-ID: <20041019170412.GV42886@hex.databits.net> Mail-Followup-To: Ken Smith , freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org References: <20041018203143.GB23076@electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="rG09A39trvEtf3rB" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20041018203143.GB23076@electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6i cc: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Just curious - cvsup mirror connect rate?

This program only measures network performance of the cvsup mirrors in question & thus leads them to use a mirror that is not necessarily their best choice. The fact is that the network performance means little when it comes to cvsup, especially for updates. CPU, RAM, disk I/O of the server mean a lot more. This particularly affects cvsup12 since its outbound link is frequently saturated. The statistics are, for this month: will@sanmateo% for i in `jot -w '%02d' 18 1`;do echo -n "2004/10/${i}: ";gr= ep ^2004.10.${i} cvsupd.log | grep ": +"|wc -l;done 2004/10/01: 1255 2004/10/02: 1218 2004/10/03: 1152 2004/10/04: 1305 2004/10/05: 1349 2004/10/06: 1250 2004/10/07: 1314 2004/10/08: 1253 2004/10/09: 1252 2004/10/10: 1188 2004/10/11: 1212 2004/10/12: 866 2004/10/13: 1265 2004/10/14: 1246 2004/10/15: 1288 2004/10/16: 1267 2004/10/17: 1225 2004/10/18: 1324 At last count, this server had served 159,208 connections since it was last restarted July 13th & rarely sees load avgs above 2.0 & almost never above 10.0.

The number I was looking at was the total connect requests, which at the time was including tons of rejections since it was pegged at max connects and stayed there... I've seen this sort of thing happen before, this is why I put one of my servers in place initially and then pass on the name to another volunteer site. The initial load when a 'cvsupX.freebsd.org' server starts to respond again after a long time of being down is kinda scary and I try not to freak out the new volunteer site... Basically all the end-user types who picked a cvsup server, stuck it in their nightly cron job, and then forgot about it also forget to check their log files and don't notice they're not getting updates any more. So when the server does finally come back online a large percentage of the machines it had been servicing before are still trying to get their updates from it. But now they're all severely backlogged and stay connected for quite a while during their first successful connect. Same seems to apply to some sites that set up their own internal mirror - some don't seem to notice when their upstream feed stops working... I've just never seen it this bad before. Usually the initial shock phase ends anywhere from 4 to 6 hours after I make the DNS change. This time it took over 24 hours and the machine was saturated the entire time (I upped the connect limit from 30 to 40 part way through because the machine seemed to be handling it OK and even there it remained saturated). The load average spent most of its time above 20, not dropping into the 10's until close to the end... Now it's back down to less than 1 with five to ten cvsupd's running at a time... So now I can give it to someone else... :-) -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | From owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 22 17:51:01 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9B8C716A4CE for ; Fri, 22 Oct 2004 17:51:01 +0000 (GMT) Received: from khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu (khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu [128.30.28.20]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3C46143D1D for ; Fri, 22 Oct 2004 17:51:01 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from wollman@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu) Received: from khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu (8.12.9/8.12.9) with ESMTP id i9MHoxqw039774 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=OK CN=khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu issuer=SSL+20Client+20CA) for ; Fri, 22 Oct 2004 13:51:00 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from wollman@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu) Received: (from wollman@localhost) by khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu (8.12.9/8.12.9/Submit) id i9MHoxnX039771; Fri, 22 Oct 2004 13:50:59 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from wollman) Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 13:50:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Garrett Wollman Message-Id: <200410221750.i9MHoxnX039771@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu> To: hubs@freebsd.org X-Spam-Score: 0 () X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.37 Subject: A wish for ftp5.freebsd.org X-BeenThere: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD Distributions Hubs: mail sup ftp List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 17:51:01 -0000 ftp5 is chronically out of disk space for the FTP mirror, despite having 140 GB dedicated to FreeBSD.
