One of our servers has stooped letting people log in via ftp:

Restarting the server solved the problem, but what's going on here?
It seems the user counter is leaking.
Maybe one for the Collector? I think there was an error:

...maybe when there's an error, the user count is decreased and lots of errors means you run out of users quickly? cheers, Chris
