This issue has been plaguing me for a few years; never tracked down the cause until now...
Randomly, router's browser access gets shutdown with connection resets. This time, I shut down my browser and the router was still logging:

Jun 28 11:47:49 wart daemon.info httpd[30865]: httpd : 5 failed login attempts reached. block client 192.168.1.214 for 5 minutes
Began the search for what was trying to login...
Found it to be ddclient... ddclient.conf file contained an extra COMMA at the end of the password causing failures every 5 minutes which in turn caused the router to lockout logins after 5 failures...

DD-WRT does not contain ddclient. No idea why we're even posting about this, but thanks for the information. Perhaps you need to include all relevant information here as to why ddclient is logging into your webUI. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
