Just line after line of:

<Date> <Time> localhost ippl: port 4662 connection attempt from <IP>

combined with a similar one from tcplogd that has reverse dns.

101,363 yesterday over 18 hours - makes my hourly logcheck reports a
pain to dig through for anything else that might be happening, but I
don't want to start adjusting those rules to leave things unreported to
me, and it is still traffic pulling away from my system's productive
activities (and running seti@home.) Maybe I need a faster disk or better
bandwidth to it, or to not use ext3 on /var, but I'd *most* prefer if
EDonkey and such programs actually did eventually time out rather than
poking eternally at an unserviced port.
