Hello, this is my first post to the list.

I noticed something strange on my server a few minutes ago.  Someone was
trying to guess my rcon password and execute commands on my dedicated
server.  They were using passwords like "leet" and "baby" while trying to
change SV_GRAVITY to 800. When I typed "users" there was no one logged in!
There were no client drop messages or anything to suggest that someone was
playing the game.

I have the persons IP address as reported by rcon when the command failed.
Any ideas on what's happening?  I find it unsettling that rcon may be
useable by anyone on the Internet. BTW I've had rcon disabled from the
beginning but this is still disconcerting.

Thanks for your help!
-Dave
