i'be been thinking of a similar idea to limit the connections from an ip...
could get the ftpd to write the ip on login to a file similar to writing the
pid file. then could search the file for the number of instances of the
connecting ip and if that is over a certian number deny the login....
also when the client loggs out would have to remove one instance of that
address....
what do you think...
