I am in fact IRCing from a laptop being NATed through that box.  That would
explain it - thanks a lot!  Sets my mind at ease.

66.140.25.156 is trying to proxy through your server in order to use
IRC. Your server is rejecting the attempt. (405 means 'method not
allowed'.)

A bit of digging shows some interesting information:

66.140.25.156 resolves to stephenson.freenode.net, which resolves to the
same IP.

Some poking around http://freenode.net/ indicates it's an IRC network.
http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml lists a bunch of IRC servers, one
of which is calvino.freenode.net.

213.92.8.4, the IP 66.140.25.156 was trying to proxy through you to,
resolves to calvino.freenode.net which resolves back to the same IP.

http://freenode.net/policy.shtml indicates that they automatically check
machines that connect to their network to see if they're running open
proxies.


You aren't, perchance, IRCing from the machine you're seeing these log
entries on? It might be an automated test to keep people from connecting
through open proxies.

Apache log - what is this?

2002-12-30 Thread Stephen Gran
Hello all,

I'm seeing the following in my logs (fairly frequently):

66.140.25.156 - - [30/Dec/2002:13:31:21 -0500] "CONNECT 213.92.8.4:6667 
HTTP/1.0" 405 303 "-" "-"
66.140.25.156 - - [30/Dec/2002:13:31:21 -0500] "POST http://213.92.8.4:6667/ 
HTTP/1.0" 405 300 "-" "-"

(Sorry about the bad wrap)

What I think this means is that somebody's trying to relay through my
Apache-running server, but is getting 405'd (not available? denied? not
sure), but I wanted to check, because I'm still fairly new to Apache.

Is this the case, or am I accidentally running a relaying server?

TIA,

I saw a lot of discution about snort 1.9 on woody.
I just whant to tell that we do need the 1.9 !
why don't we use an another directory (like contrib) where we can put

It's not, but thanks anyway!

Since I restarted the service on the night of the 24th, it's been running 
normally. Maybe I'll wait other 34 days (until January the 28th or so) and 
see what happens.

Thank you!

I've made the mistake of running bind with debugging (to find one bug), and 
have bind create a 2GB /var/named/named.run file.  Bind crashed because that 
file was too big.  Doh!  If your Bind crashes regularly after X days, see if 
its creating its own (non-syslog) log file.  Effects are similar to a memory
