Subject Re: Questions about SuperServer

My Slackware version is 10.1.
Kernel version is 2.4.29.

First time i used the normal (not NPTL) build. Now i removed and
instaled the NPTL build. Just after finish install, there are six
instances of fbserver (threads?) running. It's strange Milan's server
behavior to be different from mine.

ps -e | grep fb
root@servidor:/usr/src/FirebirdSS-2.0.0.12710-ReleaseCandidate3.i686#

I tried to stop the server using rc.firebird and it seems it is
working now:

/etc/rc.d/rc.firebird stop
