Thanks for replying.
<snip> You could use the ip blocking tool in Drupal itself instead of 
.htaccess. </snip>

Yes I have tried this on another site however the protagonist only has 
to switch is modem of then on and he has a new ip address, or have a 
couple of hundred pests using the same attempts. We have a couple of 
hundred attempts using the same [type] but sifferent IP addresses each 
time.

[type] in Reports shows a list including wp-login.php, signup.php or 
.asp, modules.php, profile.php, register.aspx, reg.php  YaBB.cgi, 
register, blogs, join.php /.pl / .asp and the list goes on and on with 
entirely different ip addresses for each.

I blocked dozens of legitimate users with the Drupal IP blocking because 
they eventually got the blocked ip addresses.
I also set it so that after an number of attempts it blocked the IP but 
some people are really dumb and cannot enter their user or password 
consistently and so they too got blocked after 5 attempts. I had to 
remove it.

All entries with time sum near (or even higher than) the google-bot normally are spammers. The ip-nr looked up in the searche engine mostly gives enough information to justify ip-blocking.</snip>

I don't know about this, can someone please explain: time sum near (or even higher than) the google-bot
