I read an article about computer security, suggesting that firewall
logging should be used. I had forgotten that I had turned it on in my
iMac running Mac OS 10.5.6, so I inspected the log, but I really don't
know the true meaning of the results. These entries seem ominous. Are
they? Is there some site which has interpretations of some log entries?
From appfirewall.log
May 1 06:32:43 Macintosh Firewall[41]: LaunchCFMApp is listening from
0.0.0.0:3829 uid = 501 proto=6
May 1 06:35:50 Macintosh Firewall[41]: cupsd is listening from
fe80::1:631 uid = 0 proto=6
When I asked for the log, another window also opened, called Console
Messages.
Most of this seems benign, but the last two entries seem like trouble.
Are they? Is there some site which has interpretations of some Console
Messages?
