As to this being setup this way on purpose no, it isn't... I don't think. :-) All I did was run InteractiveBastille from the console and what I chose was mostly defaults. I didn't even go through the advanced networking section when I ran it since there's no network running here other than the cable modem.
I appreciate an answer that made an effort to analyze what was happening rather than the "RTFM" that I basically got from one person on my local LUG. I've been reading the fscking manual since I saw this first in my logs and couldn't figure out why it was suddenly happening. I haven't done anything differently than I had done in the past. >From what I can tell there is something weird happening with my ISP since the primary DNS server actually got blocked twice yesterday. When I called they said "no problems here, are you sure about those log entries?" Whatever was going on there is no longer a concern since the entries stopped and I have no connection problems. See why I said it was confusing? Maybe a result of the MS-SQL Snake? Thank you again; -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org
