While there seems to be a general downward trend for free memory as the number from ftpcount goes up, it does not seem exactly linear. How are other folks deciding where to put the limit on ftp users? BTW this is running on a pentium 133 w/ 128 megs of ram. thanks! -- Ian Kallen ian@gamespot.com Director of Technology & Web Administration http://www.gamespot.com
