Hello folks, I'm trying to set up a ruleset that limits every user to X tcp connections, since I have 300 active users on each server. I've been trying to work it out with the ipfw limit but I really don't know how effective it is. For example: ipfw -q add 15 allow tcp from me to any 80 limit dst-port X keep-state out setup Will this limit the whole machine to X connections that match the rule? I wanted to build somehting that would limit every user to X conns without having one rule for each user using the "uid" directive. Thanks for your precious help.
