From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Sun, 1 Dec 1996 11:09:09 -0500 From: presotto@plan9.bell-labs.com presotto@plan9.bell-labs.com Subject: No subject Topicbox-Message-UUID: 52c1c2c6-eac8-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 Message-ID: <19961201160909.Ey-40zT_3zgFujl7t2RSMAIkwXemJhecMn084wbJ3IE@z> We're running our web sites (plan9.bell-labs.com and inferno.lucent.com) on Brazil, the internal version of Plan 9. Sean Dorward wrote the code here. We haven't done anything that shouldn't run on the released version. We should be able to give you the current versions of the http daemon, dns, and mailer if you have a plan 9 license. We don't have disk quota's, ken just yells at anyone that hogs the jukebox. You'll have to change the file system to support them. Alternately, you could have a daemon that sweeps the system enforcing after the fact or hire ken. Both of our servers are PC's. The more active is a 60 MHZ pentium. It averages about 10000 hits a day without a noticable load. I have no idea what it takes to support 2000 users. What would you need for mail? We don't support POP3 though it'ld be trivial to give the mailer a POP3 interface, i.e., it's not that different than the interactive one. ------ forwarded message follows ------ >>From cse.psu.edu!owner-9fans Sun Dec 1 09:51:32 EST 1996 Received: from cse.psu.edu by plan9; Sun Dec 1 09:51:32 EST 1996 Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by cse.psu.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id JAA14030; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 09:31:51 -0500 (EST) Received: by claven.cse.psu.edu (bulk_mailer v1.5); Sun, 1 Dec 1996 09:30:51 -0500 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by cse.psu.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id JAA13997 for 9fans-outgoing; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 09:30:44 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: claven.cse.psu.edu: majordom set sender to owner-9fans using -f Received: from tao.ai.univ-paris8.fr (tao.ai.univ-paris8.fr [192.33.156.85]) by cse.psu.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA13993 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 09:30:40 -0500 (EST) Received: from colombie.ai.univ-paris8.fr (colombie.ai.univ-paris8.fr [192.33.156.83]) by tao.ai.univ-paris8.fr (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id PAA09999 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 15:22:21 +0100 (MET) From: Jean Mehat Received: (from jm@localhost) by colombie.ai.univ-paris8.fr (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA11560 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Sun, 1 Dec 1996 15:24:53 +0100 (MET) Date: Sun, 1 Dec 1996 15:24:53 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <199612011424.PAA11560@colombie.ai.univ-paris8.fr> To: cse.psu.edu!9fans Sender: cse.psu.edu!owner-9fans Reply-To: cse.psu.edu!9fans Precedence: bulk What do you, plan9 experts, think of running a large Web site on a plan9 network of machines ? The site is www.mygale.org, it contains approximately 2000 accounts. Currently, it runs on a Sparc with NetBsd. How much work do you think is it to make things run smoothly? What impact on performances? How enforce the 5Mbytes per user quota? What about the plan9 mail delivery system?
