Nope.

Port 80 is http _server_ -- this is port web servers listen on, and
web browsers send requests to. Replies from web servers do not come
back to 80, they come back to the client, at whatever (high-numbered,
non-privileged, pretty much arbitrary) port got allocated when the

Few people read every post.  Most read the threads they participate
in.  I see no reason to mock someone's courtesy request.

strange log entry

2001-05-23 Thread trev26

Heya :)
 
I was running a 'tail -f' on my /var/log/messages and this entry appeared while
I was connected to the internet:

and it has me worried it may be a security issue. I'm very new to linux, and
newer again to debian, and at this stage I really don't have a clue as to what
the above log entry is trying to tell me...

Any input or comments would be very appreciated :)

Nope.

Port 80 is http _server_ -- this is port web servers listen on, and
web browsers send requests to. Replies from web servers do not come
back to 80, they come back to the client, at whatever (high-numbered,
non-privileged, pretty much arbitrary) port got allocated when the
client established the connection.

No but they come back *from* port 80.

Apparently not. (Well, I'd read the post, but didn't go back and re-read

And completely justified. :-)
