|    Busy Nodes?    |
|    13 Apr 19 18:18:50    |
      MSGID: 1:282/1031.0 de7175f7       TZUTC: -0600       CHARSET: PC-8       Hello There,              Lately I have been getting "400 Sorry, no more free nodes. Try again later"       rather frequently from BBBS. I currently run the 22 node version of BBBS. I am       thinking I am just getting spambot'ed. Although, (It may not be related) I       did perform a recent BBBS upgrade. Short of restarting BBBS, is there a way to       clear the nodes (I.E delete node busy files) without the necessity to restart       BBBS?              I am using iptables to manage inbound connections and have for some time now.       The free nodes issue has just been a recent occurrence I.E., the last couple       three weeks. In checking I don't see a sudden increase in IP activity.              I have had four new BBS users create accounts in the last week. Something I am       always happy to see. :-)                     Jeff              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: Fidoneet: The Ouija Board - Anoka, MN -bbs.ouijabrd.net (1:282/1031)       SEEN-BY: 14/5 15/0 2 19/36 34/999 90/1 103/705 104/57 116/18 120/331       SEEN-BY: 123/140 1970 128/2 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 220/60 221/0       SEEN-BY: 222/2 226/17 229/107 354 426 452 1014 230/150 152 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/854 317/3 320/119       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 340/400 342/13 200 393/68 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/267 640/1384 712/620 848 770/1 801/161 189 2452/250 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 282/1031 261/38 712/848 280/464 229/426           |
