Hi,

I have a large number of user processes (eggdrops) connected to numerous networks
and recently started noticing a number of connection attempts
outgoing to a reserved network address, 0.0.13.5.  My firewall logs
show:

May 21 00:00:22 users ipmon[62]: 00:00:21.557455 fxp0 @0:12 b 213.152.51.194,4138 -> 0.0.13.5,3333 PR tcp len 20 60 -S OUT 
May 21 00:00:22 users ipmon[62]: 00:00:21.557529 fxp0 @0:12 b 213.152.51.194,4139 -> 0.0.13.5,3334 PR tcp len 20 60 -S OUT 
May 21 00:00:22 users ipmon[62]: 00:00:21.557578 fxp0 @0:12 b 213.152.51.194,4140 -> 0.0.13.5,3335 PR tcp len 20 60 -S OUT 
May 21 00:00:22 users ipmon[62]: 00:00:21.557625 fxp0 @0:12 b 213.152.51.194,4141 -> 0.0.13.5,3336 PR tcp len 20 60 -S OUT 


How can I determine what process is spawning this connection attempt and
the uid of the process?

I use ipfw to analyze bandwidth on a per user basis, but I can't think
of a way to use ipfw to capture the kind of info I need in this instance.


Thanks in advance,
Jez
