The first suspect is DNS, but since you aren’t running that, check things like ntp. Do a port scan on your own machine and see what’s open. Drop into the Terminal and look at the output of ps auxww | more carefully. Check /tmp and /var/tmp. See if there’s a spurious /var/temp with stuff in it. Do you run a webserver? Maybe something like awstats, phpBB, webmin, or wordpress? Is everything updated? Also, what is “a lot” of UDP packets? Are you sure what you think is a lot is really a lot? What does the activity monitor on your system show for network traffic? -- If you think that Mick Jagger will still be doing the whole rock star thing at age fifty, well, then, you are sorely, sorely mistaken. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
