Greets all, i`ve noticed the following log entries in messages --
-- Snip Dec 17 01:15:01 BoxName proftpd[11136]: our.host.name (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.

This box is a Sun Cobalt RAQ4 Linux Box running primarily as a Web Server although also running DNS and SMTP / POP. Would it just be the ProFTP making sure its still alive ? I have a number of CRONs running but none include any type with FTP activity and there are none running at 15 mins past each hour as this is. Apologies if this is trivial and simply ProFTP checking if its still alive, however i`m slightly miffed and i`m slightly concerned if somethings being sent out every hour. thanks in advance. Rich
