DESCRIPTION

       When a remote user fails to authenticate correctly, the attemp will be logged.  After a certain amount of attempts the IP address, certifi-
       cate and/or user account will be blocked.  The eurephiadm attempts command is used to get an overview over what	is  registered	as  failed
       attempts and to give the possibility to reset or delete the registered attempts counter.

       Available modes for the attempts command are:

       -D | --delete

       -h | --help <mode>
	      Show help

DELETE MODE

       The attempts delete mode will remove a record from the attempts log.

   One of the following parameters must be given (only one):

	      User name to delete

       -d | --digest <SHA1 digest>
	      Certificate SHA1 digest to delete

       -i | --ipaddr <IP address>
	      IP address to delete

       -a | --attemptid <ID>
	      Attempts record ID to delete

RESET MODE

       The attempts reset mode will reset the attempt counter.

   One of the following parameters must be given (only one):
       -u | --username <username>

       -i | --ipaddr <IP address>
	      IP address to reset

       -a | --attemptid <ID>
	      Attempts record ID to reset

LIST MODE

       The attempts list mode will show all registered login attempts.

       -v | --verbose
	      Show more details

   Filters:
       -u | --username <username>
