[JDEV] got jabberd and jpolld working on separate machines

[John Hebert]

Um, as it normally happens with voodoo and software, it started working
as soon as I complained... :)

[root at 192.168.0.24 jabberd]# ./jabberd

[john at 192.168.0.86 src]$ ./jpolld -h 192.168.0.24 -d 5225 -n c2s -s test
Listening on NULL:5222

[root at 192.168.0.24 jabberd]# ./jabberd
20001215T22:52:45: [notice] (-internal): base_accept: new connection on
port 5225 from ip 
192.168.0.86

[john at 192.168.0.55 simulator]$ cat simulate.cfg
server=192.168.0.86
port=5222
users=2000
message_delay=5
login_delay=2
login_duration=300000 
user_letter=r
message=Hi There
message=How are you?
<rest of simulate.cfg snipped>

[john at 192.168.0.55 simulator]$ ./simulator
1 users connected
2 users connected
3 users connected
...


Previously, it was connecting but then immediately disconnecting. Not
sure what changed, other than rebooting a crashed machine.

Now, my next problem to solve is getting past ~1020 users.
I'm using the 2.4.0-test12 kernel and have tried various kernel tweaks
("ulimit -n 4096", changes to various header files) but no luck.

I'm wiping out the current box and putting a fresh install of RedHat 6.2
with the 2.4.0-test12 kernel and will document the exact tweaks. Once I
have that, I'll post my test results to the list.

Thanks for the help.
