Namely a bug to do with iptables rate limiting,

1
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport http -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 20 -j LOG --log-level=7

works!

iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport http -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 60 -j LOG --log-level=7
iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615

-j REJECT also produces the same.

Simply increasing the “hitcount” causes this error, the only work around I have come up with is decreasing the –seconds arg, to yield more hits/sec, still bloody annoying!

Strangely I’ve had some people reporting issues with being prompted for a username and password when accessing files on svn.saiweb.co.uk

it would appear in mod_dav_svn-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 that this directive: AuthzSVNNoAuthWhenAnonymousAllowed

now defaults to OFF, well that was a p.i.t.a trying to track down, having never seen that directive in ANY of the documentation …

Anyway pass this on to other facing the same issue.
