The box gets slow and sluggish and then it just dies to the point where you can't login from anywhere but the console. I tried to get some help on DALnet where they mentioned changing maxusers and pty and then recompiling the kernel but can someone give me some specific guidance? Thanks, Katerina -- C. J. A.
