We are using majordomo here at DePaul and it works just fine.  Majordomo
is written in perl (which is just fine with me) and can be found from
anonymous FTP from FTP.GreatCircle.COM, in directory "pub/majordomo

        We are planning to create some lists to discuss various issues
within our organisation and         outside our organisation. We are looking
for a listserver software which manages the lists.         Can anyboady tell
us where can we  get a copy of listserver software. Any public FTP site ?


        Thanks in advance

1. Sun Sparc 10/Solaris 2.3 Max TCP

We are running a Sparc 10, Solaris 2.3 w/128 ram.  NCSA httpd 1.4.2 seems
to have a limit of being able to spawn only 55 httpd processes.  Is there
a maximum # of open tcp connections that our platform can have; can it be
set higher?  

In the error log we see lots of errors trying to create socket messages.

We took a look around the Netscape info, thinking we'd try their server to
solve this issue and we found:  

Solaris has a 32-connection limit
 Technical note:  20101

 Product:  Netscape Commerce, Communications, and Proxy Servers
 Operating system:  Unix (Solaris 2.x)

Sun SPARC computer systems running Solaris 2.3 or 2.4 have a limit of
only 32 simultaneous incoming TCP/IP connections.  This means that if
you have a web server on a Solaris system set up to handle 64
connections, half of those possible connections will never be used.

There is no easy way around this.  Contact Sun for more information.

Is this correct?  Is there a workaround?  

Our site gets busy and the pages we serve go a little nuts, dropped
graphics, delays etc.  

We tried [ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max 32] without any noticeable
improvement to increase the size of the listen queue.  

We have patch 101318-74 installed which closes a few thousand fin_wait_2
connections we had hanging around previously.  

This has been a stumper for us.
