Hi Paul, Right now OSG is being attacked from Australia, or at least that's what looks like... but 948 different machines accessing to invalid pages from trac makes me think something wrong is going on.
The problem is, that timeline is a very very expensive view to generate for Trac, and is quite easy to make the server inaccessible by just launching a set of machines access to that view, the same happens to other parts of Trac. For example, the attack from Australia exploits the fact that an access to an invalid Ticket number causes python to launch an exception... ... so, that's why I want to minimize what an anonymous user can view, or not. Hope is a bit clear now. Jose-L.
