Does anyone have any idea what the following in syslog means: Dec 5 14:58:01 themachine kernel: Packet log: input DENY ppp0 PROTO=0 0.0.0.0:65535 0.0.0.0:65535 L=40 S=0x00 I=55674 F=0x0000 T=64 (#8) What's PROTO 0, IP address 0.0.0.0? Thanks, John BTW, its a ppp dialup connection; the packet is coming from the remote ppp connection-obviously. The question is why? -- John Conover, conover@rahul.net, http://www.rahul.net/~conover
