Crazy how fast these things hit. I only have four nodes,       but it's constantly tying up the first two. I guess this is the new normal?        I have OpenSSH setup on a non standard port, but I bet it's only time before       this gets found too.              Sam              ---        þ Synchronet þ -==[ Totally Nerd BBS ]==- (Work in Progress) - totallynerd.com        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
