Thanks, Ken. > Just checking - what did you have the limit set to for concurrent > connects? Given your description of the machine I'm guessing 10-ish? From memory, I think the limit was closer to 20. I just tried to login there to double-check, but I got the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" message from ssh. I haven't changed the host key, so I decided to stop right there. Possibly Randy knows what's going on. > Thanks a lot for having provided the service all these years (not to > mention everything else you've done cvsup-wise through the years as > well...). You're welcome. I rarely had to do anything to that machine. It's one of the most reliable pieces of equipment I've ever seen. It's been getting hammered by CVSup clients 24/7 for close to 10 years, and it's still got all the original parts (even hard drives) except for the RAM, which I changed out to ECC early on. I don't remember it ever crashing. It has been up continuously without any attention from me ever since I upgraded it to 4.11 almost 2 years ago. (Yes, I was paying attention to security advisories. :-) John
