What is rnews - why is it logging in my system?
I'm getting a strange log entry in my system, that happens every 14
minutes past the hour. I checked my chrontab and chron.d to make sure
there's no unknown service running - but all I have is exim,
postgresql, and logcheck and the standard daily, weekly, monthly
scripts.
Here's what a sample line looks like:
Apr 11 07:14:01 garrison rnews: rejected connection What server?
'garrison' is the hostname of the machine. It's connected 24/7 to the
net so it looks like someone is trying to make a news connection, but
whoever is logging this activity (ippl?) isn't telling me where it's
coming from so I can't block them.
What's going on?
