RE: MySQL authentication

["David Lubowa" <ziggy at one2net.co.ug>]

if you are using courier-imap, you could increase the "daemons" value in
authdaemonrc;

<snip>

##NAME: daemons:0
#
# The number of daemon processes that are started.  authdaemon is typically
# installed where authentication modules are relatively expensive: such
# as authldap, or authmysql, so it's better to have a number of them
running.
# PLEASE NOTE:  Some platforms may experience a problem if there's more than
# one daemon.  Specifically, SystemV derived platforms that use TLI with
# socket emulation.  I'm suspicious of TLI's ability to handle multiple
# processes accepting connections on the same filesystem domain socket.
#
# You may need to increase daemons if as your system load increases.
Symptoms
# include sporadic authentication failures.  If you start getting
# authentication failures, increase daemons.  However, the default of 5
# SHOULD be sufficient.  Bumping up daemon count is only a short-term
# solution.  The permanent solution is to add more resources: RAM, faster
# disks, faster CPUs...

not sure if it would scale for you , but this is what i would probably try
out first.

cheers

David

Subject: MySQL authentication


If I had my webmail and pop3 users for mail authenticating on a
machine running FreeBSD with MySQL and doing the user
authentication on MySQL, would it be possible to have more than
1000 users authenticating simultaneously provided I had enough
Memory and CPU?

Cheers,
