-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody, Under FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE on i386 I get lots of kernel messages like this one: Feb 7 12:38:01 neuromancer kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:49383 /etc/services has this to say on Port 512/udp: biff 512/udp comsat #used by mail system to notify users Is there any way I can get rid of these messages? From the fact they show up on my console, I assume port 512 is not open. Should I open it? The machine is on a local network with me being the only user, so security considerations aren't that important, really. =) On the other hand, what do I need it for? I'd rather have it just shut up. Any hints? Thank you very much, kind regards, Benjamin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (NetBSD) iD8DBQFAJNEv/JWwsvZUqOwRAgDSAKCwb7MWx7N9mG+SSCK2f2ir5yLwHgCgghwR 3x7Wf9/ROmo2RIju7jUbNi0= =7a3+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
