Having the box live on the 'net alone guarantees that it will get some random hits. Prepare to see lot more of them from here-on. Script-kiddies, trying to find suitable hosts for their mass exploitation tools. Worms, eagerly propagating on their own means; And spammers (spammerbots?) trying to find open relays they could abuse. The only thing you can do is to make damn certain your box does not become part of the problem. -- Mika Boström +358-40-525-7347 \-/ "The Hell is empty, Bostik@lut.fi www.lut.fi/~bostik X and all the devils Security freak, and proud of it. /-\ are here." -W.S.
