   BBBS and Telnet Logins?

   Hi Jeff,

   That's a good question... Did you hear back from Kim about that?

   I looked at my logs and the version I'm running doesn't do that from what I   
   can tell..  For instance, I ran a grep of an IP that had connected via telnet,   
   didn't log in, then disconnected, and I only found this IP in one log, which I   
   assumed meant he'd only connected to one node.  What do your logs show?  Do   
   you see the same IP in all logs like log3, log4, log5, etc. (or how ever many   
   nodes you are running?)  With previous versions I ran, it was the same I   
   believe.  I'm running the Linux version over here.   
      
   This is an example of one of those type connections today:   
      
   150128 14:36 Got telnet from 1.254.29.237:52931, spawning node 15.   
   150128 14:37 Closing telnet at node 15, 0kB in, 0kB out.   
      
   It would seem that only node 15 was opened above...   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
