Dave Roberts updated FTPSERVER-52:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: Apache FTPServer Core.patch

I've attached a patch that addresses this issue in-so-far as any login failures can now be noted through the StatisticsObserver.

The patch does a number of things: provides a method for resetting the statistic information, keeps a count of failed login attempts, and uses the observer to notify of a failed login.  The observer is passed the InetAddress so that the observer implementation can log the IP if required.

> Particularly in cases where the FTP server is embedded in another application, it is important to be able to determine the IP address of the remote client when authentication fails. One possibility would be to provide access to the remote address from UserManager.authenticate(). (This might be useful for other reasons as well.) A more generic approach that would not require a custom UserManager implementation would be to add an onLoginFail() method to the Ftplet interface. I think both enhancements would be useful, although if only one or the other could be done I would favor adding Ftplet.onLoginFail().
