>Description:
NetBSD's ftpd lacks a per limit of simultneuous connections. For example
something like this in /etc/ftpd.conf:
# limitperhost class simultaneous-connections
limitperhost anons 1
For class anons allow only one connections per host. This would also
be a small protection against simple DoS.
