Someone has got to do it. We provide a service to our customers, so I think it is important that I make an effort to be here, particularly over long weekends. > > The simplest method of detecting sucking servers is to use 'tellnews > > showusers', or the daily use logs (enabled with 'loguse true' in > dnews.conf) > > summarised with the duse tool.

The group count reflects the number of times they have used the 'group' command rather than the actual number of unique groups read. This could indicate a sucking server, or just a user who likes switching between groups a lot or refreshing while waiting for new posts. The duse tool will be able to provide more detailed information, but I wouldn't be too concerned about sucking servers unless your system performance is being compromised by these servers. I suck all my personal news from free servers and my ISP, wouldn't want them trying to stop me =) > > Somewhere burried in the source I think there is a setting for detecting > > sucking servers, but I'll have to confirm that, and exactly what it does. > > If I set in access.conf > > ## BEGIN MANUAL PART2 - Anything here will be preserved > 0.0.0.0/16:logoff::!* > > Then I refush access to the server for all IP's, but allso to the IP's / > people I trust ##protected groups and ##domains ? You would want to use 82.161.57.87/16 to block access to this IP range. Access rules are applied in order, later rules replace earlier rules. - Roydon L. > Thanks, Rob > > > - Roydon L. > > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > > > Hi, > > > > > > Is there a command to stop (no wanted) suck from my server ? > > > I mean, only read and post from *normal* readers alowed. > > > > > > BTW, Happy new year ! > > > > > > -- > > > CU, Rob > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
