Reviewing what I was doing on the box last night:
	aptitude was [still is :)] in the midst of downloading a package

	Konqueror kept not responding but;

	KDE kept Konking Out (requiring Ctrl-Alt-BS)

	(Konqueror works OK when accessed via SSH from other box)

I suppose its possible that in the process of Konking out it made
connection attempts on the wrong port.  I'm not really interested in
fixing KDE; I think I'll be going back to XFCE but using K apps.  

So should I forget about the port 81 attempt?  I don't see any evidence
on the box that there's been a compromise.

Doug.
