While scanning my logs I noticed this a couple of days ago... I have posted
to comp.os.linux.security and performed various web searches (including a
deja search). So far no one has been able to answer these strange log
events.. perhaps someone here could shed some light onto the problem? I am
running Server as a gateway for my lan. All outside connections are
masqueraded through this on interface ppp0. Distro. is Redhat 6.0.
