In my experience you should not have any problem to manage that number of users even if you have a huge number of rules with your machine. But you can always make some tests to see if the machine slows down, but I think it should be ok. -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac@xxxxxxxxx bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÃA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
