LDM 6.8 Release Notes
-
Installation:
-
The ldmadmin(1) configuration-file is copied, read, and
rewritten with additional user-configurable parameters.
-
LDM Server (rpc.ldmd):
-
Improved vetting (i.e., access-checking) of a client to
prevent delays due to a time-out on the reverse DNS lookup,
which is used to convert the client IP address into a
hostname:
-
Moved vetting from the LDM server before fork(2)ing a
child process to the fork(2)ed child process.
-
Made vetting a two-phase procedure: first with the
client IP address and then, if and only if that fails,
with the client hostname.
-
Added the new option "-M max_clients" (default: 256).
-
ldmadmin(1):
-
Program:
-
Added the ability to check the accuracy of the system
clock. This new ability is highly user-configurable.
The defaults are to check the clock but not to abort if
it's off by too much.
-
Added removal of product-information (~/.*.info) files
to the "delqueue" command if "$deleteInfoFiles" is true
in the ldmadmin(1) configuration-file.
-
Added the new option "-M max_clients".
-
Added the new commands "printmetrics", "addmetrics", and
"plotmetrics".
-
Moved variables "$os" and "$release" to the
configuration-file.
-
Added the error message "Uknown command: ".
-
Removed printing of "ldmadmin" from "ldmadmin usage" output.
-

Improved internal documentation and layout.

Added many new variables.
