                              Break-in attempts

Must be some new exploits out there. Mark [1] called and said he found
evidence of someone attempting to break into the co-located box we have. He
would have notified the appropriate parties of the attempt but he wasn't
feeling very well.

I check the logs, and sure enough, there were attempts to break in from
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.birch.net. I then checked the logs going back a few days and
on the 21^st I found more attempts from
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.videotron.ca and yet more on the 19^th from
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.videotron.ca, each using similar methods to
break in.

None of the attempts succeeded though.

The two from videotron.ca are probably the same person; I have to wonder if
the one from birch.net is also the same person?
