Subj : Busy Nodes?

Hello There,

Lately I have been getting "400 Sorry, no more free nodes. Try again later" 
rather frequently from BBBS. I currently run the 22 node version of BBBS. I am 
thinking I am just getting spambot'ed. Although, (It may not be  related) I did 
perform a recent BBBS upgrade. Short of restarting BBBS, is there a way to 
clear the nodes (I.E delete node busy files) without the necessity to restart 
BBBS?

I am using iptables to manage inbound connections and have for some time now. 
The free nodes issue has just been a recent occurrence I.E., the last couple 
three weeks. In checking I don't see a sudden increase in IP activity.

I have had four new BBS users create accounts in the last week. Something I am 
always happy to see. :-)
