Especially as killer is/was a new package for lenny, I think we are better of not enabling a half-working feature by default. It's also documented in the manual now how to enable it if one really wants it. > > Apropos "left-behind": On our machine, hundreds of ltsp swap files were > > left behind (>30 Gig on LTSP:/var) -- is this a unique phenomenon? > Nope.

Also, the manual recommends to use 512mb sized swap files for workstations with 256mb ram, currently we create 32mb sized swapfiles. This is suitable for thin-clients but quite useless for diskless workstations - shouldn't we raise this? (For this we would probably need to raise harddisc requierments again, but I dont see that as such a big problem.) regards, Holger
