Hello folks,
I'm trying to set up a ruleset that limits every user to X tcp
connections, since I have 300 active users on each server. I've been trying
to work it out with the ipfw limit but I really don't know how effective it
is.
For example:
ipfw -q add 15 allow tcp from me to any 80 limit dst-port X keep-state out
setup
Will this limit the whole machine to X connections that match the rule? I
wanted to build somehting that would limit every user to X conns without
having one rule for each user using the "uid" directive.
Thanks for your precious help.
Regards,
Carl
