+-------[ Martin McCormick ]---------------------- | 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. 113 is the ident/auth port. There are a number of things that query the ident port, IRC servers, sendmail, and squid to name a few. It's probably nothing to be worried about. If you block it and something stops working, I'm sure someone will scream at you d8) -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
