<div>This is the rule that is getting matched. Basically, its a FTP incorrect password in /var/log/secure .... Find out whats doing the FTP jobs with the bad password, and problem fixed :)</div>

<div>As you can see from my logs this is blocking me every day. I haven't used FTP on this server EVER! :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My main access is either SSH or GUI and that is only probably a couple of times a month if that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Something weird is going on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks </div>

<div>Something is a amiss.</div>

Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Check out /var/log/sec ... this is the log file for dfix2. Look for the IP in that file<br>

particular IP is getting blocked.<br>

Well here is a result (sort of) ... I've been blocked this morning and I haven't been near it! :)<br>
