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        DM> cause of the ban (not just "Blocked IP").              Here is the log output..               6/4 03:38:25p 1488 Telnet connection accepted from: xxx.x.xxx.xx port 1411        6/4 03:38:25p 1488 Hostname: S0106bc4dfb234923.ed.xxxxxxx.net        6/4 03:38:26p Node 1 attached to local interface 192.168.1.2 port 23        6/4 03:38:26p Node 1 15:38 Sun Jun 04 2017 Node 1        6/4 03:38:26p Node 1 Telnet S0106bc4dfb234923.ed.xxxxx.net [xxx.x.x.xx]        6/4 03:38:43p Node 1 (0003) Ib Joe FAILED Password       attempt        6/4 03:38:43p Node 1 !Failed login with blocked user name: Ib Joe              I checked the name.can and 'IB Joe' isn't in there.
