Title: Account stealing?
Post by: Killabazilla on January 21, 2004, 09:10:25 pm

This has probably been asked before, but I couldn\'t find an answer to it:

After a good nights sleep and a long day at work I wanted to log on to PS. The server told me I already was logged in and should try again in 30sec.

Is this a known bug or is someone using my account?

Happens to me, it\'s a bug when it does to me, and so probably to you too...since, who would still your account anyways?  Woo crystals?

The most likely cause of this was a network error somewhere.  The server used UDP based sockets which are connectionless so it has no way of knowing if you are connected or has died.  So the server will wait a little bit ( 30 seconds ) to see if your client will respond.  At this time it assume you are just \'quiet\'.  If no response from your client it will boot them off the server and you are free to try to login again.

Yuh, I had this on my cvs server. Just try every 30 sec or so.
