    This is the only 127.0.0.1 login you have shown, and I presume it is you?? The user "Arlan" more than likely showing the same ip because they signed in on the website or ftelnet.

    My web page is on port 8080 and 23 new users have used it for sign up
    or browsing. The connection to the imap for 2 1/2 days now is
    fascinating. What do they do with all that connection time. Lol

    To help cut down on some of the webcrawler traffic, create a robots.txt file and put it in your webroot directory. If you're using webv4 that would be /sbbs/webv4/root. In the robots.txt file, all you need really is three lines:

    User-agent: *
    User-agent: AdsBot-Google
    Disallow: /

    It won't eliminate all of the webcrawler traffic as there are some that ignore it, but it will stop many from indexing everything on your site.

    As others here have suggested, it's possibly an fTelnet login, so look at the web server log output at the same time to see if you see corresponding http requests that would make sense in that context.

    It was not me. I was watching this happen and thought it was odd.

    The bbs is on an old laptop. No one in the house was on the BBS at the time. It was very strange. ¨ spoooky.
