I recently setup Conserver 8.1.11 on a Debian Woody Linux system. The
system has a 200MHz Pentium I processor, 96MB RAM, and 48 serial ports
(3x RocketPort 8J PCI cards, 3x BocaLan BB-1008 ISA cards). This hardware
used to run Debian Potato with Conserver 6.x or 7.x (don't remember).
Conserver 8, for the most part, is working fine. But there are two
problems I have been unable to solve:
*) When I try and connect with the console client, even from the local
machine, it takes 2-5 seconds for the connection to occur. This is even
longer than it takes to SSH into the system in the first place. I have SSL
turned off, and I have DNS resolution setup correctly. From 'top', it
looks like a lot of CPU time is being used by conserver during the
connection start up. The older versions of Conserver was nearly
instantaneous on connection.
*) More seriously, when I connect with '-A' to display the last ten lines,
eight times out of ten, the last ten lines are displayed, and then console
exits with the error 'console: FileRead(): SSL error on fd 3'. As I said
above, I am not using SSL at all. Connections attempts without '-A' never
fail.
My configuration is attached (without all 48 port definitions for the sake
of brevity). Does anyone have any recommendations on how to solve these
problems? Conserver is excellent software, and would be perfect if I could
just solve these problems. Thanks!
