I received another auditing task, this time the client is complaining about DNS and MySQL slow response. Trying to make a copy of bind configuration to study it at home i found something curious: there is a whole /proc or something like that inside the /var/named/chroot directory (cant remember the exact path). The system should be a Fedora (didnt had time to check it, but Iknow the client and he usually has Fedora 6). Is there any reason to have such thing inside /var/named? About MySQL, Im not so fond of it, so, can somebody suggest me what reasons can cause slow response? The server does some basic hosting for 10-15 joomla sites, so, I dont think that could generate a significant load. -- Roger D.
