Windows2000 is a Noisy Neighbor.

[Martin McCormick]

	We run bind8.2.2PL5 and our dns logs have suddenly
started to swarm on us.  The problem is that every new
Windows2000 work station wants to update our dns with Heaven
knows what.  We don't want to accept updates from anybody except
proper dns's.

	I know this is the bind discussion group, but is there
anything I can tell our Windows2K crowd to turn off so that we
don't get swamped by messages like:

15-Oct-2000 16:22:15.208 unapproved update from
	[139.78.7x.xxx].1033 for okstate.edu
15-Oct-2000 16:22:15.302 unapproved update from
	[139.78.7x.xxx].1041 for 78.139.in-addr.arpa

	This guy has left us 885 and counting such lines since
October 15.

	At around the first of the month, I tallied all the Win2k
helpful update messages and 13 systems had generated 12,000
lines.  Right now the log is 100,000 plus lines and most of that
is what I just showed you.

	Windows2000 is showing up on campus like this year's flue
and I need to find a shot quickly.

	It is not really hurting us from a security standpoint
because I don't accept the updates, but the messages are going to
Barry us.
