Yes, I missed that in the logs. They are so few attempts, I only got 2 during the one day I sampled. Of course, when they can connect, they try several names.Everyone,
I've actually had to lock down most ports on my server; because, I got tired of all the attempts at attacks. Everyone, please use a firewall. I've noticed many attacks to the following ports: 111 -- sunrpc ** this effects Linux machines 135 -- DCE Endpoint Resolution 137 -- netbios-ns 139 -- netbios-ssn 445 -- microsoft-ds ** these affects samba services as well. 1433 -- ms-sql-s 1434 -- ms-sql-m ** I don't know why SQL ports are being attacked.
1023 -- ??? 5554 -- ??? 9898 -- ??? ** this group may be related to PCAnywhere, or Worm, etc.
The most active: port 445 by far!
Just giving everyone a heads-up on the security issues.

Good points James...you missed one though... port 22. I see more attempts on SSH than any other port....stupid and LAME attempts but more on this than any other...
-Eucke
I also left off ports: 55838, 1026, 1027, 4899, 1334, 1025,. 6129...
If anyone is interested, I can send a copy of the report or even the log file information.
Thanks, James Kosin
