Maybe setup a firewall that limits bandwidth per session based on a percentage of available bandwidth with a burst rate.

I am familiar with the technique in fact I use a burst rate for port 22 connections. If I can not find a POP3 server to do to limit bandwidth, I'll use iptables.

I did not really learn how to deal with it until my college years when a bunch of my buddies yelled 'penis' from the back of a chemistry class composed of about 500 students. I usually sat up front so this time I turned around stood up on my seat faced them and yelled back the word 'jealous'. After that the teasing seemed to stop to my dismay I had started liking the name by then :) It's my real name :) Greg ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There has just been too much mystique surrounding it especially when I wear my kilts. At this point it always offers a good subject of conversation at cocktail parties, and I am so used to the teasing it does not even get to the dander of my red hair :) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
