I am running IIS5.0 with windows user accounts for FTP login. I had a
problem with a user complaining about not being able to connect. I checked
the users account and it was locked out. I looked at the logs and noticed
numerous attempts to login. I tried myself with a different account entering
a wrong password and the logs showed 3 attempts, not 1. Is this normal? I
set the Local Security to 5 invalid attempts but if one incorrect login
counts 3, I would have to triple the Invalid Attempts to allow 5 incorrect
passwords, no?

Thanks,

Ben
