I set WuFTPD to accept only 30 clients and Apache to serve only a MaxClients of 50. Could it be the lack of virtual memory? My swap is only 32 mb but I never did like swap and wouldn't have allocated any swap at all if FreeBSD would let me. I do have enough RAM though (96 mb). Lastly, I hope you can tell me this: where would I go to get information on how to read kernel messages? yes, I'm a unix newbie. Thanks. Dave
