Re: [Plug] Invalid uid/pw

["Nick R" <laktar@hotmail.com>]

I woulnd't think so. That's a security feature to prevent brute force 
cracking attempts. I was going to try that on that LinuxPPC but I ended up 
figuring that between getting 4 attempts per connection, taking about 12 
seconds to get those attempts out, the likelyhood that the pass is 
practically line noise, and figuring a password of 8 characters it would 
take me about 4.3 million years to crack the machine. Needless to say I got 
started right away...
