Sir Robin

When I was there 18 months ago it was common to see buses with linux
slogans on the side.

as a followup to this thread this morning when I opened my email client
there was the usual message from the system with the overnight logs for
review. at the top of the list was about 75 lines revealing a brute force
attack that was launched against my server around 8:00 am Sunday morning.
apparently, from the logs they were attempting to gain access through
ipop3d by running a list of possible login usernames. they were of course
quite unsuccessful. Chinanet appears to have more then their fair share of
no-job-havin-script-kiddie-scumbags that have nothing better to do then
behave as low-brow felons.

I just wish the Chinese ISP's would respond to the emails I've been
sending them letting them know their network is being used to attempt
illegal access of remote computer systems!

you are soooo damn funny...I am laffing my ass off at that idea ... not even an anagram.

hmmmmm....what-er-ya trying to say et? you don't think they can read english er somthin?
