Hi all: To continue my new Linux user paranoia, I have just noticed in xconsole that someone's been trying to connect to every port from port 2 thru 1024. It looks like this:
Apr 27 20:03:09 main tcplogd: tcpmux connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] [206.47.37.4] Apr 27 20:03:09 main tcplogd: port 2 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] [206.47.37.4] Apr 27 20:03:09 main tcplogd: port 3 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] [206.47.37.4] Apr 27 20:03:09 main tcplogd: port 4 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] [206.47.37.4] ... ... Apr 27 20:08:13 main tcplogd: port 1024 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] [206.47.37.4] This one was the last. Bellglobal is my ISP provider, and I'm connected via ADSL modem. In between these messages sometimes there are the following (I guess that's when existing service was found): Apr 27 20:03:46 main in.telnetd[7141]: connect from cpu.adsl.bellglobal.com Apr 27 20:04:34 main in.ftpd[7145]: connect from cpu.adsl.bellglobal.com Is this within frames of acceptable. I feel like complaining, but don't want to look like an idiot. :) Any comments highly appreciated! -- Arcady Genkin "I opened up my wallet, and it's full of blood..." - GsYDE
