ndt-users list created

[Richard Carlson <>]

Hi Dale;

I found a bug in the 3.1.4 (and earlier) code.  I sent out a patch to this 
list last week, and a few minutes ago I created a new release that includes 
this patch.  You should download and install the 3.1.4b tarball from the 
e2epi web site.

There is also an issue with the Linux 2.6.13 kernel so I'm recommending the 
2.6.12 series kernel for now.  If you are running the 2.6.13 kernel then 
download and build the 2.6.12 kernel.

Lastly, I updated the INSTALL file to contain some server tuning tips.  You 
can copy section 9. d into your /etc/sysctl.conf file and then run 
/sbin/sysctl -p to get the changes installed.
