For some reason, about every 5 minutes, I get a logon failure to my
mail server as myself. At first, I couldn't figure out why my
account kept getting locked out so I turned on some auditing
options. I've got a whole security log of these failed
attempts. Actually, it's two attempts every 5 minutes. Very
obnoxious.
I'm trying to track down the source of the problem. According to the documentation I have, they are logon type 7, which is an "Unlock" attempt, like from the console. I don't think that's entirely accurate though because the server is behind me. I think perhaps it might be from terminal services. I'd like to disable that, but I currently don't have a monitor on that system. We'll see what happens.
