We're running Picasso on a 64MB P100. This system acts primarily as
the mail server for student users on campus. It's currently
supporting 3,000 users, with the potential for 8,500, although due to
some other systems, it will never get that high. It also handles
some FTP duties, but we've never had more the 4-6 connections open at
once. For the most part, it doesn't do much FTP.
We are having major problems with ipop3d refusing connections. It
may work fine for several days, and then stop refusing connections.
We issue a kill -HUP on inetd and it starts taking connections
again. We may then have problems for about 12 hours, but then things
clear up again, for a while, anyway.
