rsync - May 2007 - need help

hi there,

i have a rsync server running in deamon mode, with a 1000 plus clients
connecting to it to retrieve files.
the problem is that when the clients connects the server has many rsync
processes running on it, each of which is around 3.8mb each. Basically the
server is running out of memory and grinding to a halt.

is there anyway of controlling this or is adding more memory the only
option?

thanks in advance

I believe the "max connections" option for rsyncd.conf is what you are
looking for.  More info can be found in the rsyncd.conf man page.
