I shut down our bugdb (based around rt) yesterday. The reason was a spammer successfully injected a message that ended up in two machines talking to each other. One was sending acknowledgements, the other bounced them and the bounce was ack'ed. Perfect loop, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openpkg-dev&m=107524936523920&w=4
Forensics prooved it can happen again until we improve some filter rules and/or softare in our setup to be more picky in what they accept. But our resources are entirely bound to OpenPKG v2.0 release engineering. So I have to defer bringing the service back up for a indefinite amount of time (worst case until shortly after the release). This is especially annoying as we have to resolve some OpenPKG v2.0 development and ALPHA deployment issues. Sorry, we have to stick to the mailing lists, text editor, paper and whiteboard until the root cause of the problem is eliminated. (technically speaking. We won't eliminate the spammer ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], Cable & Wireless ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
