Linux network / admin help please:

I am helping to manage a linux VPS which seems to have a mystery 
outgoing connection to an ip address that is causing /tmp/ to fill up 
with thousands of cookies which eventually causes the VPS to run out of 
inodes and crash.

I've blocked the ip address in the firewall which has prevented new 
cookies.

However, iptables appears to be showing an ongoing amount of outgoing 
traffic being dropped.

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to identify what specific 
scripts are creating outgoing connections?

My guess is it will be a wordpress plugin somewhere.

Any suggestions on how I can debug the source of this traffic would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Phill
