I have no idea!  And I don't know how to find out...this is 
all what came set up...I DID run something to start 
something called "tripwire" (and now I'm sorry)...a mail 
came as soon as I booted RH7.1 for the very first time 
after installing, and told me to run "tripwire --init" or 
whatever, so I did.  But I didn't do anything else; these 
just started coming for no reason (well, no reason that_I_ 
I can see! ;-)

Either that, or someone is trying to break into the system? 
 But it says that the "connection [was] refused"...anyway, 
what the heck can I do to trace down this problem?  What 
makes things run automatically on a Linux system?  Where 
does it have the files to configure this?  I know it's 
something easy, but the ol' grey cells are getting scarce 
these days... :-)
