| 34 | <PRE>If the nickname is suitably protected, e.g. SET KILL IMMED and a limited | |
| 35 | access list, then the nickname cannot be used by anyone other than the | |
| 36 | actual services root so it will not happen. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | If it is still of concern, expiring a suspension invoked purely by the | |
| 39 | invalid password trap would fix this since the nickname would return to use | |
| 40 | after a set period while still making life difficult enough for would be | |
| 41 | password crackers since they cannot "brute force" through multiple | |
| 42 | connections/logons and will have to wait a fair amount of time between | |
| 43 | attempts. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | An "accumulator" could be used to invoke a permanent suspension for the case | |
| 46 | of a very determined and patient crack attempt. | |
