One thousand? We do have some boxes with concurrent ssh-users in the lower 3-digit range. But in general this seems to be rare, especially since software is often unprepared for and untested in that amount of activity (see e.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1961). For the number of X displays, there was never any issue, usually since CPU and memory resources run out long before you run out of display numbers. Users just pick another box or their laptop, if applications are slow, so the number of X displays is self-limiting ;) Ciao, Alexander Wuerstlein. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
