I don't need the sources, just _incite_ into how he limits the number of anonymous users or more succinctly the number of ftpd processes. :) Is the limit derived by a commandline switch to dg-ftpd? Is it some script magic elsewhere on wcarchive? Or is it that he's figured out how to limit it with FreeBSD's new login class routines? BTW, I think Joerg mentioned that it might be a reasonable solution to use the login class routines. And before anybody starts throwing darts at me (especially David Nugent), I haven't really looked into the new login_* routines. So I am not claiming that it would be difficult to rework ftpd to use these routines, only that I haven't yet thoroughly investigated all of my alternatives. :-) Thanks, Steve [remainder of message elided] > > Jordan
