Hi There,
My system has been absolutely tied up by my (not)friend Google-bot as they
tried to scan my Internet fidonet nodes (geez :) ). What a pia.. I took care
of it as soon as I noticed it though.. Luckily, bbbs has a feature that lets
you keep all connections or some, whichever you like, that try to tie up your
tcpip nodes.. I have 7 each of binkp, www, telnet, and raw tcpip.. so the
idiots at google-bot were trying anyway they could.. I laughed when I saw them
try the port on 24555 (my bbbs binkp port).. still a problem because the
attempt is made, but once I got their ip address in with the / at the end of
the ip address to specify any port they used, that took care of it.
For those of you that use BBBS, and run into this, this is what I put in
inet.bbb:
