Ports 513 and 161 are used for broadcast services rwhod and snmpd. I very much doubt you are getting port scanned. Examining your snippet of logs, you are getting the 513 every 3 minutes which corresponds exactly with the rwhod service. It's wrong of your ISP to have such a lax attitude toward po

I'm of the same opinion. Obviously the firewall/detection software is handling what's comming at it. It's low volume, and what I saw of it didn't look like a serious hack attempt anyway. (Although I could be confusing this issue with someone elses trace I glanced at.) So much of what I see comp

udp scans are common. start portsentry only in tcp mode (and use stcp not atcp). port 161 is scanned all the time w/o malicious intent. Mate -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
