This week, we:

• got 10,965 messages from 236 different IP addresses.
• handled 18,098 sessions from 1,724 different IP addresses.
• received 376,478 connections from at least 114,062 different IPaddresses.
• hit a highwater of 18 connections being checked at once.

Things are down a bit from last week ,but we are still being hammered by spammers, mostly using compromisedzombies. The per day

We have one Dell 2950 that has a PERC 5/? RAID controller, bought assomewhat of an experiment, and Ubuntu 6.06 has an interesting problemwith it: the kernel sees both the real disks and the PERC RAID devices(in that order), with the RAID devices being slightly smaller (thePERC controller seems to use a bit of space at the end of the disk,presumably to store its setup information.)

As you might expect, having the same disk visible through

I have to say that I'm bemused by the amount of effort that people willgo to just to avoid coming up with hostnames for their machines. (Thisis different from the lazy people, who just don't bother creating PTR records at all.)

By now I am used to the people who carefully give their IP addressesa PTR record of the IP address itself:

2.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. PTR 127.0.0.
