under some kind of attack

[mj]

Hi all,

It seems we are under some kind of password guessing attack:

> Jul 18 21:33:33 auth: Info: ldap(username1,103.6.223.61,<W7wLl5xUfABnBt89>): invalid credentials (given password: 1q2w3e4r5t)

Different IPs, different usernames, but all (almost) the same password.

Any idea what we can do about this??

Any advice you could give us would be very much appreciated.
