this is what that port does :

efs             520/tcp    extended file name server
router          520/udp    local routing process (on site);
#                          uses variant of Xerox NS routing
#                          information protocol - RIP

here's a handy reference to all ports and their use :

Hello all,

Going through my firewall logs tends to get tedious i.e. the logfiles too big because of the recurring nameserver scans by my IP on port 520.

Not only that but this permanent logging causes constant disk activity and thus noise!:o(

Anybody got any simple pointers how to put a stop to this?

I suppose I could just block all these probes I'm just not sure what effect that'll have though.
Just not having these probes being logged would suffice methinks. Well at least it'll save the trouble of clearing out the HD every month and reduce the noise.


TIA,
HarM
