I'm trying to figure out why these messages are showing up:

neptune kernel log messages:
> Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:3746 flags:0x02
> Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:2058 flags:0x02
> Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:4293
> Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:4864
> Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:1972 flags:0x02
> Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:3859

I thought my firewall was allowing loopback traffic.
