Re: Hundreds of failed login attempts

adm account doesnt get locked. so you must rename it to a new login.


Think, I try to log on as administrator and it became locked, how the REAL
administrator can adminin something? So admin cannot be locked this way...

I'm seeing hundreds of failed login attempts for "administrator" on one of
my web servers.

The administrator account has a limit of 20 attempts, then a lockout for
30 minutes.

But the security event log shows these events occurring about 10 per
minute for hours at a time, with no break.

I'm pretty new to server administration, and I'm not sure what else to do
to limit these attempts.

Any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated!
