The intention was to prevent multiple users from sharing username and
password. And to lock an account if it was used from too many
locations. 

I'll post it, but before we go there, I should tell you that, I'm still
getting that dreaded "MaxClients reached" error again. Taking somewhere
of of the order of 6hrs now though.

I thought I couldn't go higher than 256 with this number without having
to recompile apache. Am I right? 

In the Apache config, 
 - KeepAlive On
 - MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
 - KeepAliveTimeout 300
 - StartServers 5
 - MinSpare 5
 - MaxSpare 10
 - MaxClients 120
 - MaxRequestPerChild 1000

<VirtualHost config....>

   PythonHandler mod_python.publisher

PythonOptimize On
ServerSignature Off

.... [error docs, logs etc]
</VirtualServer>

And I'm not using my custom session. 

Let's hope that a mod_python upgrade will help. Should I also upgrade to
Python 2.4 as well? I develop with python 2.4 on my Ubuntu desktop, but
deploy to Python 2.3.5 on the Debian server. 

Do you guys think I should use the newer version of python when building
mod_python?

Thanks.
