  34 <PRE>We are also one of the targets and we had been glining them.  But what we
  35 noticed was that the roughly 7000 glines we had set were causing the cpu
  36 processes to run up higher than normal and was actually causing a bigger
  37 problem.  What we decided to do was to just stop banning them and see how
  38 things go.  So far we have noticed less cpu usage and less bandwidth usage.
  39 It's basically a &quot;lesser of two evils&quot; approach.

  50 &gt;<i> Our IRC net is one of those targeted by the
  51 </I>&gt;<i> fizzer worm and we are getting huge amounts of
  52 </I>&gt;<i> connects.  Is anyone aware of any
  53 </I>&gt;<i> module/fix/patch for services that we may be able
  54 </I>&gt;<i> to use to ban these connects?  We're currently
  55 </I>&gt;<i> using the most recent ver. of ircservices as well
  56 </I>&gt;<i> as Unreal IRCd.
  57 </I>&gt;<i>
  58 </I>&gt;<i> Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  59 </I>&gt;<i>
  60 </I>&gt;<i> Thanks,
