Hi EUGLUGers,

I recently turned on login logging on the EUGLUG server (FreeBSD).
It's a kernel switch called 'log_in_vain'.  I'm seeing a lot of the
following:

> Connection attempt to UDP 207.189.137.44:137 from 208.50.149.200:137
> Connection attempt to UDP 207.189.137.44:137 from 208.50.149.200:137
> Connection attempt to UDP 207.189.137.44:137 from 208.50.149.200:137
> Connection attempt to TCP 207.189.137.44:113 from 216.116.33.121:3818
> Connection attempt to UDP 207.189.137.44:137 from 207.137.197.33:137
> Connection attempt to UDP 207.189.137.44:137 from 207.137.197.33:137

Here is what is in the /etc/services file for these two ports on that
box:

auth            113/tcp    ident tap    #Authentication Service
auth            113/udp    ident tap    #Authentication Service
netbios-ns      137/tcp    #NETBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns      137/udp    #NETBIOS Name Service

Authentication kind-of speaks for itself, but what is NetBIOS?

Thanks,
Rob
