OK. It seems that whoever the person is who is trying the dictionary attack (I think that's what you all called it) is doing this randomly from a variety of network sources.
I have a log full of attempts to gain administrative access on the machine (a 6500 with OS 9.1) and, unfortunately, finances have not permitted me to buy a router to sit behind. That said, however, what's the best way to prohibit this, if at all possible. Is this a reactive scenario at best from the administration perspective? As far as the server being compromised, I'm not really too worried. It's being used by some folks from my church and a few friends at this point, but in the future may be used by more. My curiosity stems from my lack of experience for the most part, but I would really like to be able to figure out if there is a way to limit this kind of traffic and/or problem. Thanks in advance, all. Chris ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
