Hi,

What script do you ban from your clients using ?
(ie. to much cpu usage etc...)

so far I have banned all type of IRC and proxy server but what about forum, form2email etc... scripts do you ban ?

Regards,
Garry

ikonboard can take up a lot of resources

FormMail.pl, or any naming variants thereof, are banned - repeated security holes that spammers can exploit, which in turn uses up CPU resources (but more importantly can get your IPs blacklisted even if you / your clients are completely legit and straightforward)

Take a look at this thread. (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64209) There's a nice, thorough list there.
