Hi,

I was wondering if i could get some help here. Everyday, i run the
monitoring and reporting facility on my SBS server machine for a regular
checkup. I always get to see that there are critical errors in security log.
In the log, it said Logon failure: ...
If i look up to the total Occurences, it's 944. For curiosity sake, what
does this mean? is that mean someone has been trying to logon for 944 times
or ??

Thank you in advance
