Thread-topic: To restrict concurrent connections in OpenSSH 3.8p1 - developed patch
Hi,
 
I have developed a module/an enhancement for SSHD on the top of OpenSSH 3.8p1 
which restricts the max no. of allowed concurrent 
(authenticated/non-authenticated) connections from clients.
 
This restricts the cumulative sum of all the ssh activities.
 
The max no. of concurrent connections allowed is a configurable parameter.
 
In sshd_config,
 
            MaxConcurrentConns 5
 
This will limit the allowed connections to 5.
 
Would anybody be interested on the patch?
 
PS: I find the feature is not supported in current OpenSSH (atleast on 3.8p1 
which is of my interest).
 
Thanks and rgds,
Bhanu Prakash Adhikari
