Thanks for responding.  I should have been clearer-- that's what I get for being in a 
hurry.

Yes, the IPs are logged in the web messaging log... but we have a ton of web messaging 
users.  What I need is a way to identify the lines in the log that relate to login 
attempts for a given user account-- then I'll be able to zero-in on the offender's IP. 
 Unfortunately, it seems that usernames & login successes/failures aren't in the web 
logs.  I see requests for login.cgi, etc. but that doesn't help me if there were 
10,000 in the last couple days-- I have no way of seeing "failures" and no way of 
identifying failures for the users who I know are being attacked.

Hope that helps!  ;-)

the web messaging logs don't log the IP of the remote HTTP client?

If you can find the IP, are they from one IP or many IPs?  the remote IP 
would be the strongest piece of evidence.
