I have a couple of ftp servers (Dell Dimension, Pentium 133 with 128Mb of RAM apiece 64 - 128Mb of swap each). These are running FreeBSD 2.1 -- the kernels are compiled for MAXUSERS=128. Each of the ftp processes seems to take about 400K. That means that I can only get about 300 ftp processes per machine before I'm getting "out of swap space" messages. What can I do to increase the capacity of these systems? Would "strip"-ing the ftpd's help? Has anyone on this group used the 'anon-ftp' package? Does it support anything like WU's "guestgroups" features? Is is sufficiently more lightweight than WU to make a difference? Where I can I find it (or a FreeBSD port)?
