Greets All:

I was talking with a guy today who mentioned that their server would soon
max out at 64K users. They said it was a Linux thing and were looking at
other Unix clones. The only reason I see this maxing out here is if they
were authenticating via passwd, yet I assume they would be using POP before
SMTP and an SQL database. Is there some other factor that's eluding me
here? (They're running qmail)

Ciao--Ken
