Bug Description

/etc/e2guardian/e2guardian.conf says:

# This figure is the maximum number of concurrent connections.
# If more connections are made, connections will queue until a worker thread is free.
# On large site you might want to try 5000 (max value 20000)
# 500 is the default suitable for home or samll office use on 64-bit systems
# On 32-bit systems reduce this to 300 to avoid exceeding the <4GB
# virtual memory limit and on Linux decrease the thread stack size from
# 10MB to 2MB (ulimit -s 2048)
httpworkers = 500

It shouldn't tell users to reduce the limit on 32-bit archs. It should just be reduced in the package on 32-bit archs.
