Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it''''''''s already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

Description:
This is the netscape web-surfboard. Please read the file "/usr/local/lib/netscape/LICENSE" for the licensing terms. Note: If the standalone navigator hangs on startup eating all CPU time, find the user_pref("browser.startup.license_accepted", ...); line in your ~/.netscape/preferences.js and move it to the end of the file, or remove it, if simply moving doesn't help. Don't forget to report this bug to Netscape Team. Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir chmod 444 fonts.dir And then exit and restart your X server.
