I've now KILLED named AND sendmail and the connection is STILL coming up.
I suspect someone maybe left somethign running on a machine someplace? I
run tcpdump -t(was that it?) but wasn't able to find anything.
Unforuntately I can't get to teh site until Wednesday so I tried:
tcpdump -t sl0 > output.txt &
and logged off
but the proccess wouldnt' stay running... oh well..
Any other ideas? When I *was* logged into the machine (for about 30
minutes) and did the sl0 I saw nothing..
