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.
