Hi Jeff,   
      
   >>> 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?   
      
   >> That's a good question... Did you hear back from Kim about that?   
      
   > Yes, and forwarded his response to you. He stated that BBBS is hardcoded to

   Yes, makes sense.   
      
   >>> 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.   
      
   >> I looked at my logs and the version I'm running doesn't do that from what I

   I see multiple logins though with HTTP this evening.

   Yes, really a firewall, fail2ban, and inet.bbb is all that we can really do.   
      
   Take care,
