Feb 23 16:23:53 localhost last message repeated 326713 times Feb 23 16:24:07 localhost last message repeated 70915 times Feb 23 16:24:07 localhost samba(pam_unix)[1666]: session opened for user edukes by (uid=0) Feb 23 16:24:07 localhost portsentry[983]: attackalert: Possible stealth scan from unknown host to TCP port: 111 (accept failed) Feb 23 16:24:37 localhost last message repeated 160240 times Feb 23 16:25:38 localhost last message repeated 316834 times Feb 23 16:26:24 localhost last message repeated 236839 times Feb 23 16:26:24 localhost samba(pam_unix)[1666]: session closed for user edukes Feb 23 16:26:24 localhost portsentry[983]: attackalert: Possible stealth scan from unknown host to TCP port: 111 (accept failed) Feb 23 16:26:54 localhost last message repeated 164387 times Feb 23 16:27:56 localhost last message repeated 326772 times These are the last two entries prior to the beginning of these strange entries. I installed portsenrty today but samba has been installed for a while. I un-installed porsentry, but it didn't stop the repeated log entries. It may be something with samba but I checked previous messages logs and didn't see these occurrences. > > - -- > - -Michael > > pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt > Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ > - -- > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE+WXRVn/07WoAb/SsRAt0WAJ9SIIe1vhkxVcBpSbg2BuM6Q26JIwCgnlYL > XxXaW5D8hzyq/BbiSWPYrbI= > =Bwi2 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- Palmetto Shopper http://palmettoshopper.com Serving all of South Carolina and beyond! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
