How could i tell syslog not to log that particular things (this >is veering offt opic now i think) This is something for -questions. You are getting messages like: Connection attempt to UDP 192.168.123.123:137 from 192.168.234.3:137 because you have the sysctl net.inet.udp.log_in_vain (and probably net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain) set to 1. These are controlled by the rc.conf parameter log_in_vain, (which defaults to "NO" ie off). You can remove all the `Connection attempt' messages by removing the line 'log_in_vain="YES"' from your /etc/rc.conf. If you just wait to stop messages about port 137 (or other specific ports), your only option is to have a daemon listening on this port and silently dropping all traffic for it. (I don't believe a suitable daemon comes with FreeBSD, but would be trivial to write).
