	I've got some limiting stuff in vsftp.conf but it doesn't seem to work 
the way I need it.  I need to limit the total ftp traffic to somewhere 
in the 96K or less area.  I'd also rather not run vsftpd under xinetd, 
but if it's going to be that or no ftp then I'll do it.

	FWIW, this is what my vsftpd.conf looks like.  If there's something I'm 
missing or something that I can set better feel free to speak up.  :-)
