About 2 or 3 times a week I see an error message saying invalid host name to rpc.statd and a string of ^P_Ms . I believe this is a Linux exploit that fails on FreeBSD. However, since I have port 111 blocked in the firewall, how in the world is even an error message being generated? I have even portscanned and 111 is not open to the outside. -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
