Hi there everyone
I have an issue with an SME Server 5.6 U4 hogging bandwidth (to the extend that I can't even get out a ping. I set up this e-smith machine to do everything it was meant to; Server and Gateway, Mail, DHCP, DNS, etc. I also installed a number of contribs and extra tools. It was only after I had installed and setup most of the apps thats I had problems. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could.......
I am going to start by looking at the log files.......... all of them ;-(
There must be a better method. Here is another question, is it possible to put Bandwidth shaping on an E-smith machine. Would it be possible for this bandwidth shaping to apply to what bandwidth the E-smith machine itself consumes?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
Thanks all
Ashley

just posted on the experienced list the wondershaper script. That can do shaping and you can set limits there.
You can use tcpdump to see what is going on.
tcpdump -nlpi eth0 for instance. That will show quickly what is going on.
also
netstat -a will show what connections are up.
netstat -i eth0 will give some info
netstat -see tcp | more is nice
vmstat is cute
and so n.
