I'm running 2.1.0-RELEASE on a remote machine and found the following message this morning: /etc>grep uucp /var/log/messages Apr 20 11:37:48 deimos uucpd[16164]: passwd read: Undefined error: 0 Apr 20 11:53:55 deimos uucpd[16238]: passwd read: Undefined error: 0 Since I am not (yet) offering UUCP services on this particular box, I have since disabled uucpd in /etc/inetd (stupid me, I forgot to check that when I installed FreeBSD. However, I also noticed the following in my /var/log/user.log Apr 20 11:38:11 <local ISP competitor> Apr 20 11:38:14 <local ISP competitor> last message repeated 10 times /etc/syslog is set so that user.* goes to /var/log/user.log I am assuming that <local ISP competitor> tried to get some sort of password list from my FreeBSD box (waste of time, really, since there are no user files on it ;-). Any clues appreciated. -- John-David Childs www.marsweb.com/www.ism.net System Administrator Internet Services Montana (406)721-6277 & Network Engineer M@RSWeb - Montana's PREMIER Web Site "I used up all my sick days...so I'm calling in dead"
