    I'm getting ready to make some "adjustments" to the security on the server. I will take all the precautions I know of (and in the software documentation) to make sure this doesn't mess with anyone's ability to access the website......but a server room monkey I am not and something unexpected could happen when these changes are implemented.

    The reason for the changes is due to someone trying to "hack" the server through brute force login attempts. This has been going on for years now and they are no closer to getting in than when they started but the username/password guessing attempts are starting to pick up....and I'm getting annoyed at all the email warnings I'm getting.

    Just a heads up. You shouldn't notice any changes if everything goes as expected.
