Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I keep getting log messages similar to these: Aug 7 19:04:49 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port Aug 7 19:04:53 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port Aug 7 19:47:59 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port Aug 7 19:48:03 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port 207.71.226.193 is the IP addressed assigned to me by my ADSL provider, so I can only assume that these packets are coming in through the ADSL modem. What do these messages mean, and should I be worried about them? And how do I block them? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
