'cuz it doesn't. We want to limit the number of concurrent connections
from the same IP address. NetBSD's ftpd will let you limit the number
of concurrent anonymous connections, but that's not the same thing.
I want to allow as as many connections as possible, and they can use
as much bandwidth as they want, but I want to allow only two
simultaneous connections from a single IP. Got an example ftpd.conf
that'll do that?
