Sorry for any Weirdness last night!

[MaryAnne]

I fell in to bed and checked my mail to find literally 300+ messages from the UKS server and UKS shut down. Exploration showed we were getting hammered by bots. Might not have been malicious, but if was not good, as I was getting 5 or so messages every minute. We did a quick re-boot and will try to sort out something to disallow the behaviour by the bots that caused the problem.

Just wanted to explain the temporary outage late last night.

Oh, poor you MaryAnne. Hope you have sorted it out and don't have any more problems.

Thanks for letting us know, hope it was a one off or can be sorted

Thanks for sorting it so quickly Mary Anne

Happened again this AM but luckily we were up aso as soon as the error messages flooded in we could re-boot the server and stop those bots. Still working on making UKS a more inhospitable host so they stay away.....
