I am unable to limit the number of anon logins with my Linux setup.

these are the lines from my ftpaccess:

class   local   real,guest,anonymous *.carib-link.net 0.0.0.0
class   remote  real,guest,anonymous *

limit   local   10  Any                 /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
limit   remote  10 SaSu|Any1800-0600   /etc/msgs/msg.toomany
limit   remote  10  Any                 /etc/msgs/msg.toomany

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks much

Lennard Kong

Put "-a" on the end of your ftpd command-line call, in your inetd.conf.  
Newer versions of the ftpd require a -a parameter to read in ftpaccess.  
I can't for the life of me imagine why, but there you have it...

Wow.  That fixed all my woes, too!  (from my message of 30 minutes ago...)

Thanks Andy!
