Attempts etc

Noticed this afternoon that the IP address of 61.144.122.38 was trying very hard to get into my server.  I quickly spoke to my Server Admin friend and he gave me a quick fix of simply adding a rule to iptables to block any requests from that IP address.  A quick Google search of that IP shows that other people have had issues with it as well.  Will be keeping a close eye on the auth logs.

Fyi, the command to tell the linux firewall to drop connections from a certain ip address is:

iptables -I INPUT -s 61.144.122.38 -j DROP

On another note, I received an email from the guys at Apple’s App Store review department.  Recipes App had a minor UI issue that needed to be altered before being allowed into the App Store.  It was a very quick change and I have resubmitted the app.  Hopefully it wont take another week to get it approved.  Hopefully they dont come back with something else they want changed.
