AFAIK there is nothing that is suitable for such an environment without
first preparing it carefully. It is a matter of tuning and configuration, out of
the box FreeBSD is not tuned for pounding but for general use. It can be tuned
for pounding but it pays to tune for the specific type of pounding you expect to
give it. Most systems can be made to panic with no root users, as a long term
system developer and admin I would never give untrusted users telnet to
production systems (on anything).
