Thats not what /etc/defaults/rc.conf says: log_in_vain="0" # >=1 to log connects to ports w/o listeners. And that isn't what happens, either. When I ssh into the box, I don't get message, when NTP stuff happens, no log messages. It really only seems to be when a connection happens to a port not listening: $ telnet localhost 25 works, connects to the SMTP server with out a message $ telnet localhost 250 doesn't work, but produces a "Connection attemp" message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
