Subject: strange behavior on Cisco 2801


Hi!
 
im running Cisco IOS software on 2801 router (C2801-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), 
Version 12.4(3e), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2). I have few problems and i have
seen strange behavior: after few hours there was no responding from router,
no nat etc. After restart everything was ok for 10-12 hours.
 
I have ONLY one user name to permit logon via ssh to router: marcin and
not dictionary password (14 symbols)
 
I logon 2 hours ago and i use command "who". I was very surprised, because
i saw something in 1 minute 2 different usernames and NO USERNAME on vty
194.
 
i looks like that:
 
router#who                  
    Line       User       Host(s)              Idle       Location
  vty 194                 idle                 00:00:01 nt.math.nknu.edu.tw
