Jon,

It takes failure to create success. If at first you don't succeed, try, try JJ>again. It's always usually the most obvious too that gets overlooked.

The late W.C. Fields noted "If at first you don't succeed...try, try
again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it". <G>

He also said "I never drink water. Fish [have sex] in it". :P

Jon,

It's just the struggle of keeping the good ones in and the bad ones out. Th JJ>bad ones make it rough for the good ones. Not just for IPs, but in a lot of JJ>things.

With SBBS's email and FTP server, I have to tag the bad IP's both ways (forward and backward), and I put an asterisk at the end as a wildcard.
I also lowered the inactivity warning and disconnect timeout to 1 and 2 minutes, respectively...which lowers the "terminal not detected" timeout
to 30 seconds. Some days, these bots fill up all 4 nodes...and when I
see the same IP try multiple connects, it goes into the ip.can file.

As a side note, I'm trying SBBS without running PeerBlock, and so far,
no crashes in the control panel. But, I'd like a list of "country
codes/host name suffixes" that I can put in the host.can file.
