It is as you say:
The machine is connection something outside, since some *process*
wants/needs to go outside.
reasons: (speaking about my ISDN experiences with dial on demand, hoping
that diald acts similar in network senses)
- Nameserver requests, due to Interfaces, IP-addresses not "mentioned"
in /etc/hosts. With ISDN, I can switch to a log-mode, that logs
addresses and ports, helpful to find the culprit
- Processes like sendmail (another one that wants to resolve interface
addresses
with names). Remove the -q30 that sends mail all 30 mins. There are
the
two variables in rc.config, that need to be set / changed:
SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE="yes"
SENDMAIL_NOCANONIFY="yes"
- Netscape open? It autofetches mail every 10 mins by default
For a *very* rough guess: look into the SDB for ISDN and reasons for
unwanted connections. This might give a few further hints.
