Well if you are going to brute force an account, shouldn't you make sure it seems reasonable that it exists? guest, admin, test and user are REALLY dumb. The only thing more ignorant is when someone tries to crack a built in account on a unix system that has an * in the password file :)

I went to block a spammer and realized there was a big issue with the sendmail configuration. I think thats resolved. I blocked them too. :) Some dick subscribed me to a list and then has a broken removal too.. and by list i mean an actual mailman mailing list. I get reminder emails every month from this douche and i'm sick of it. I blocked them at the mta. maybe some bounces will get their attention.

Well its official, i lost the freebsd logo contest. The winner had a very nice submission though.
