    keyword=Portscanning is causing problems with the HV crates/GUI...

    Portscanning is causing problems with the HV crates and probably tanking coda too...

    Someone (Ole, Alex?) has to compile a list of Hall A IP addresses and verify that they are on the exclusion list. Jack may have a useful list already available. The exclusion list should include:

    It would be reasonable to tell the kernel drop connections from the scanning subnet on the adaq machines. I did this on hacweb5 a while back since I have root on that machine. I do not have root on the rest of the adaq cluster though. The command is:

    iptables -A INPUT -s 129.57.71.0/24 -j DROP
    /etc/init.d/iptables save
    
    The second command should allow the rule to be automatically restored on reboot.

    It may be that only one or two IPs are missing from the list and we got unlucky with the HV GUI, but this needs to be verified.
