-WebStone is an open benchmark proposal to the server industry. It is
-designed to measure the performance of HTTP servers under multiple
-scenarios which reflect different Web site profiles.
+The WebStone benchmark tests were originally developed by Silicon Graphics
+to measure the performance of Web server software and hardware products.
+WebStone 2.0.1 is a more portable version of the original WebStone
+benchmark which added support to use Windows NT systems as client test
+systems.
-The original WebStone benchmark was released in March, 1995. The original
-white paper describing this benchmark is available from
-http://www.sgi.com/Products/WebFORCE/WebStone/.
-
-WebStone is not a proprietary benchmark - it is an open benchmark. The
-source code is freely available, and anyone can examine it. By design,
-WebStone does not unfairly favor SGI, Netscape, or any other company - it
-is simply a performance measurement tool.
+Mindcraft, Inc. has acquired the rights to WebStone from Silicon Graphics.
+WebStone 2.5 is Mindcraft's enhancement to WebStone 2.0.1 to improve
+reliability and portability as well as to make tests more reproducible.
+WebStone 2.5 also offers new workloads for CGI and API tests (see below
+for more details). WebStone 2.5 provides performance-identical test
+results with WebStone 2.0.1 when using the same workloads
This FreeBSD port rely on rsh and rcp being allowed for the user proces
running webstone between the web server and web clients. This is not
enable per default in FreeBSD, and root is never allowed to do it without
-entering password for each operation.
