Default (last session) checked, switched it to tde, clicked on login and everything seems back to normal. But the damned bots are back to DDOSing me. Its one of the cz bots, and while iptables claims its running and that address is shown as dropped, it also is not incrementing ANY of the counters. I guess pita that it is restarting everything, its time for a full shutdown reboot. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
