The other thing about GENERIC (and to be honest, something which leaves me somewhat awed with the results for "100 users") is that GENERIC has maxusers set to 10, which seems to be even more significant than the 64MB memory limitation. I'd imagine they'd run out of processes before they even started heavy swapping. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
