Or, change your log level so they don't get logged. Or, have logrotate gzip your archives (which it probably does anyway) so that logging repeated patterns like that takes insignificant amounts of space.
what about a low port, I saw a suggestion like port 14 ? what command to see used ports ?
netstat -ntlp check /etc/services to see if port 14 is a well-known port for something (14 isn't, as far as I can tell)
