Hi Art;
Someone is try a dictionary attack against your ftp server.
I notice it happening on slower cpu's like 400 MHz and 256 megs of ram
More often. I could say turn off ftp and only turn on when needed or
Use Secure FTP and leave ftp off, that is what I would do.....
Warning.... be sure you have a real good password on your box,
No cheating allowed that could get a cracker into your box.
There are password generators on the net that can be downloaded.
There is also www.grc.com password generator
https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
and is real good. It is design for wireless security but it can be
used for other password functions.

Subject: [coba-e:10320] Active Monitor: FTP server is not running
Hi List folks,
It started several days ago, i think, after latest kernel update.
Every once an hour I get this message from Active Monitor:
---
Active Monitor has detected recent changes in the state of your server
appliance.
For more details, please see the Active Monitor section of the Server
Desktop.
Summary of changes:
* The FTP server is not running and could not be restarted. In the Server
Desktop, try turning the FTP server off then on again to see if this
corrects the problem. If the FTP server is still unable to start, try
rebooting the server itself by clicking the Reboot Now button in the Power
menu under System Settings. If the FTP server is still unable to start,
please refer http://BlueQuartz.org/ for technical support.

Does anyone sees this as well?
Best,
