Hi,
I started with a new security file...inserted even
just a couple of ips, same problem. Incoming messages
refused. As long as file is there, called security,
all messages get denied. And, it keeps on starting
various instances of bbd...to the point of almost
locking system. I watch it under "ps -ef|grep bbd|wc
-l" go the way to 200+ before i killed it....sample
below. Not sure really what is going on here. 

bbuser   21282 17440  0 11:14 ?        00:00:00

bbuser   21316 21287  0 11:14 pts/0    00:00:00 grep
bbd
-bash-2.05b$ ps -ef|grep bbd|wc -l
     2
-bash-2.05b$ ps -ef|grep bbd|wc -l
     20
-bash-2.05b$ ps -ef|grep bbd|wc -l
     24
-bash-2.05b$ ps -ef|grep bbd|wc -l
     42

_Thanks
