could someone be trying to break into your server? do you have a
perimeter firewall on your network? do you have ssh enabled on your
server? what about your clients?
it's also possible some service is responsible, but in my limited
experience I have only seen this when someone was trying to get in
from an exposed machine.

Hello,
Recently one of my server's System Logs has started to spam
authentication
failures;
Jun 12 11:21:46 fms DirectoryService[61]: Failed Authentication
return is
being delayed due to over five recent auth failures for username:
admin.
The same error message is spammed over and over, and I can't figure
out what
is trying to authenticate with the username admin. The server is
bound to
an OD server, however the bind occurs with no issues.
I have no active programs running, and the only active services I
have are
for Filemaker Pro 9 Server. The server isn't behaving strangely or
anything, but have thousands of lines of logs in the System Log is
annoying
when you're trying to troubleshoot issues.
Any ideas on what's causing these auth failures?
Thanks,
JG
