I have idle-timeout-secs=60, and I get these log messages regularly (several per hour) as well, all spam. I don't think they're anything to be concerned about.
My guess is that the corresponding spamming hosts don't know how to behave properly when they're told to "get lost". They should politely terminate the session, but they choose to just go away. How rude! ;) (Then again, their behavior is improper to start with, so what should one expect?) I'm sure Sam will clarify this if I'm wrong. -- -Eric 'shubes' Markus Thüer wrote: > Hi, > > > > sorry I was a bit quick with my first mail.
