The code was changed to detect whether running as root
or non-root, and to only run the ndd commands when
running as the root.
ncf/bin/sun/startupServer.sh was changed
when running as a non-root user
to remove the ndd commands as follows:
# set tcp_close_wait_interval from 2400000 to 60000
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_close_wait_interval 60000
.
# set tcp_fin_wait_2_flush_interval from 675000 to 67500
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_fin_wait_2_flush_interval 67500
.
#set tcp_keepalive_interval from 7200000 to 300000
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 300000
to remove the ndd commands as follows:# set tcp_close_wait_interval from 2400000 to 60000ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_close_wait_interval 60000.# set tcp_fin_wait_2_flush_interval from 675000 to 67500ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_fin_wait_2_flush_interval 67500.#set tcp_keepalive_interval from 7200000 to 300000ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keepalive_interval 300000
