Greetings and Salutations! I am having an issue with a hacker who trys to crack my system password eventually making all of my nodes busy so that users cannot login. When I periodically check Nodespy, all three of my nodes show a couple of system password attempts (in asterisk form) and a third prompt and the screen is hung. I have to Alt(K)ick each node 2 or three times until it autobans the IP address. Is there something I can do other than removing the system password prompt to keep this from happening?
