Hi David, Thanks for the quick response to last night's email! re: > I have provided ssh access to sirocco from laraine.unidata (user 'ldm', > passwd: same as the one you use for mistral). Thanks! Two problems: - I no longer have the password that I used to use to access mistral. I can SSH to mistral by virtue of my id_dsa.pub key being included in the authorized_keys file on mistral. - I just tried to SSH to sirocco (using a _very_ old password provided by Bob Leche a long time ago), but I had no success as the password was not accepted. Can you send this to my private Unidata email address (address@hidden) ** without reference to the account name or machine for which it is valid ** ? re: > I ran a root-kit analyzer > and checked all the firewall rules - no suspicious activities there. > Let me know what you find. I didn't mean to imply that there is a denial of service attach from sirocco. The repeated and numerous LDM feed REQUESTs being issued by sirocco to our IDD top level relay cluster, idd.unidata.ucar.edu, is effectively acting as a denial of service attach. This is because the latest versions of the LDM allow the LDM administrator to set an upper limit on the number of connections permitted, and that number is being exceeded by the >160 connection REQUESTs that sirocco had issued as of last night. Our only course of action was to blacklist sirocco's IP until we can determine what is causing the repeated REQUESTs on sirocco.
