I've been having problems with all sorts of rmgroup commands coming through
my server.
They all seem to be coming from the same person:
Nov 1 15:38:37 news controlchan[1091]: control_rmgroup, t-netz.werbung
edhew at xenitec.on.ca edhew at xenitec.on.ca
@030362756666303800000019D4EE00000001@, news-out.visi.com, doit, 1
Nov 1 15:38:30 news controlchan[1091]: control_rmgroup, t-netz.sex-stories
edhew at xenitec.on.ca edhew at xenitec.on.ca
@03036275666630340000001A611A00000001@, news-out.visi.com, doit, 1
According to my control.ctl file, this person should only have authority to
remove groups in the biz.* area, so why is my server responding to control
messages?
bash$ grep edhew control.ctl
newgroup:edhew at xenitec.on.ca:biz.*:doit
rmgroup:edhew at xenitec.on.ca:biz.*:doit
# Contact: Ed Hew <edhew at xenitec.on.ca>
Any help would be appreciated. So many control messages are being sent that
it takes down my server. I'm get load averages over 50.
