Why might a FreeBSD system be generating traffic on port 113? We have noticed occasional traffic from a FreeBSD system of ours to various addresses outside our network on Port 113. If I blocked it altogether with IPFW, would it effect ssh in any way? I am theorizing right now that hosts in the big wide world are occasionally probing this port and the traffic might be a response of some kind, maybe nothing more than "I don't know you. Goodbye!" Hopefully, our sniffer will eventually see one of the exchanges and we will have a better idea of what is going on.
