I don't recall, does BBBS create any bsy files that would prevent bbbsd from reloading until any such files were taken care of? I have tightened down iptables to limit the multiple telnet attempts. Which has helped but I still occasionally run out of available nodes. Even though the busy nodes are cleared more quickly now.
