[Imc-tech] IPs blocked

[Zachary C. Miller]

I have temporarily (it'll go away at the next reboot) blocked all IP
access from "DAN"s ISP (prado.com). 

This is the command that I used. 

iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p all -s 209.66.81.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0

(If someone reboots the server and this has to be reissued you also
have to do "insmod ip_tables" first).

This ISP is located in California and this blockage will not lock out
any members of our community. 

We have verified that this person is in fact shutting down the ability
to post comments. We still don't know how. Hopefully tech folks can
investigate that while I am gone.

If Tech decides to lift this blockage Dan L. can implement that while
I am on vacation.

The command to reverse the blockage is:

iptables -D INPUT 1

Later today I'll send out a briefing about how to handle my server
while I am gone.
