Hi list,

On a 5107R, is it correct that the Login Manager, which records which 
hosts has failed login attempts, doesn't log failed logins that use a 
username that doesn't exist on the system?

I have numerous failed logins from one host, with usernames that doesn't 
exists on the system. These attemps can be found in the secure logfile. 
However, these failed logins don't seem to be catched by the login 
manager.

Is this working as designed? Even these attempts to login can be seen as a 
brute force attack imho.

Thanks
