messages log file



Hi,

This may sound really stupid, however I cannot seem to locate anything about
it anywhere.
When I view the messages log file it is full of --MARK-- , what does this
mean? I have never seen it
on any other of the Linux boxes I have (running RH though). I am slowly
trying to get to grips with Debian
before I go swapping out all the RH boxes.

Also any ideas on why I have ssh running & can log in from my internal
network, I have allowed the IP range from work access, I can scan the box
from work & it reports that the ports I have open are definitely open, yet I
cannot connect (I even set up Apache to see if I could get a webpage, ie:
some sort of connection happening between the box & the remote) & yet I
still get "connection refused by remote.." I have triple-checked that I have
the ipchains set up correctly ( & ran a packet through the chains to ensure
the chains weren't to blame), any ideas, I have checked the config of ssh &
all appears sweet, although I get this error when I even try to get the
default page up in a browser on the  remote. I am suspicious of my ISP
"filtering" the connections (although after speaking to them they tell me
they don't), although wouldn't a std. nmap scan show my ports as closed or
filtered if this is the case?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CraigW.
