Thanks for this… I just finished dropping about 1200 tables in my WPMU database from spammers creating blogs.
Why not just delete the wp-signup.php script though… would that be sufficient?
Why not just close signups then? If you delete the file, nobody can signup. You could also rename the signup file. There’s about 4 lines inside the file that have the filename as well.
