Walnut creek is limiting users to 5000, and they used to limit to 3600.
The question is how?
I looked in man FTPd, and there's no mention of a user limit that I can
find. Then I remembered that stuff was in the kernel, so I looked
there. Maxusers doesn't set that, it just sets maxproc and other
related stuff. So the next look is pseudo-device pty number, but number
can't go above 256, and it doesnt indicate that ftpd looks in there
anyway. So how exactly are they doing it? And while we're at it how
are the echoing back the current ftp users to the login message?
