   Hiya DM...   
      
      
    DM> Read here http://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbs.ini#global about   
    DM> LoginAttemptTempBanTheshhold. Yours is set to 20, so it should take 20   
    DM> unique failed login attempts to trigger a temp-ban of an IP, unless

   The user in question, IB Joe, has logged in numerous times without issue.  Over   
   the past 2 months there have been others who've said the same thing has   
   happened, log in and use the wrong password on the first login and poof...   
   they're history.  I have set the above to 20 so I'll not have this issue. His   
   username is not in the name.can file either.   
      
    DM> Also, you terminal server log output will have more details about the

   Here is the log output..

   I checked the name.can and 'IB Joe' isn't in there.  There is an entry for the   
   letter 'i' so is that causing an issue being his login name begins with the   
   letter I?   
      
   Thanks...
