Oh, and I forgot to mention, that the connection attempts to port 16001 all took place within one hour, and _many_ attempts fit within one second. So, there was, for example 15 attempts to port 16001 within, say, 14:55:26. And when I checked syslog, I could see, that in the same hour, minute and second there were these entries: [...] Oct 14 14:55:26 erpland gnome-name-server[18084]: starting Oct 14 14:55:26 erpland gnome-name-server[18084]: name server starting Oct 14 14:55:27 erpland gnome-name-server[18166]: server_is_alive: \ cnx[IDL:GNOME /Panel2:1.0] = 0x80556f0 Oct 14 14:55:28 erpland gnome-name-server[18207]: server_is_alive: \ cnx[IDL:GNOME /Panel2:1.0] = 0x8055ab0 Oct 14 14:55:29 erpland gnome-name-server[18223]: server_is_alive: \ cnx[IDL:GNOME /Panel2:1.0] = 0x8055cc0 Oct 14 14:56:30 erpland gnome-name-server[18388]: server_is_alive: \ cnx[IDL:GNOME /control_center:1.0] = 0x8055d90 Oct 14 14:56:54 erpland gnome-name-server[18391]: server_is_alive: \ cnx[IDL:GNOME /control_center:1.0] = 0x8055d90 Oct 14 14:58:17 erpland gnome-name-server[18422]: server_is_alive: \ cnx[IDL:GNOME /Panel2:1.0] = 0x8056078 [...] Were these port 16001 connection attempts gnome-name-server's "fault"? Yeah, I installed GNOME yesterday and lots of new stuff got into my computer, but I've seen this port 16001 and sunrpc connection attempts before, too. But I take, that this is somehow related to GNOME? - -- Jussi Ekholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <http://erppimaa.ihku.org/> | <0x1410081E> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9q6l7AtEARxQQCB4RAv6QAKCVsSiPmJ9pED1cLv/UMQG4d6KYDgCgjcrB 63X3oG11MuZ9eL1yYitLaEs= =n1fj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
