[2] Max. Num. of Users? To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Fri, 27 Oct 1995 14:54:15 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1040 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk [question 1 - how to find/install/use DES?] OK, a followup question from yesterdays about converting the Linux file. Everyone agreed I should use DES. How do I do that? I looked through the FAQ and the files in /usr/share and grep'ed for DES and found a mention of scrdist or the secure package, but they don't appear to be on my CD-ROM (the 2.0.5 from WC). I ftp'd into Neosoft and looked through ports and distributions but all I found (after up and down and around) was a file called des.aa so hopefully I'm making progress, no? [question 2 - how many max. users?] I even generated a new kernel, but it wasn't an option in there either, as far as I could tell. But I did notice it wouldn't let me set users greater than 64 -- is that the most I can have logged in at once? We currently have 20 or so logged in at once and we're not even open for business yet.
