Hello All,   
      
   As I have mentioned recently I have been one of a number of SysOp's that have   
   been subject to telnet login attacks via IP. This is not a fault of BBBS as   
   other BBS/Mailer software have recieved the same attacks. I opened up port 23   
   in Radius the other day and within 2 minutes one incomming telnet IP opened up   
   15 sessions. Most IP's are based in China, with some from Korea, and a few   
   from Mexico. In checking the IP's I bet I have added 1000 IP's to my Inet file   
   in the last week to be blocked. I have a file of all China based IP's but am   
   reluctant to block China as a whole because of the actions of a relatively   
   small number of people.   
      
   In BBBS is it possible to limit the time BBBS will wait at a telnet login   
   prompt before the login is aborted and the node closed?   
      
   Is there a way in BBBS to limit or prevent BBBS from opening up all available   
   nodes via telnet or FTP login attempt? Currently BBBS opens up all available   
   nodes based on a single incoming telnet IP.
