Hi,

I'd like to know to which service these packets belong. I got if from ipchains 
kernel log in my machine:

Apr 11 12:43:10 milho kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth1 PROTO=17

... and some more like these...

When I seek this port I get:
#nmap -sU -p 62459 -v localhost
WARNING:  -sU is now UDP scan -- for TCP FIN scan use -sF
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor ([EMAIL PROTECTED], www.insecure.org/nmap/)

The UDP or stealth FIN/NULL/XMAS scan took 0 seconds to scan 1 ports.
No ports open for host localhost (127.0.0.1)

looking about the other IP:
----
$ whois 205.188.153.99
America Online, Inc (NETBLK-AOL-DTC)
22080 Pacific Blvd
Sterling, VA 20166
US

I wasn't accessing any page from AOL at the time this log was written...

Is there anything unsafe in my system??? anything to worry about?

  Thanks in advance,

  Pedro
