Several weeks ago I discovered that my server, running Debian 2.0.36, is making repeated udp requests to a nonexistent port on another server. The iptraffic log looks like this:
Mon Nov 22 15:26:59 1999: UDP from cepa.newschool.:1253 to A032156.N1.Vand:doma in on eth0 I can't figure out how to stop this. Rebooting doesn't work. The man pages on hosts says that there is a hosts option for "infinite" retries, with a default time of 10 seconds, and this looks like what is going on. But it doesn't say anything about how to stop an "infinite" retry, or where the request is stored that triggers this off. Can anyone help? Thanks, Duncan Foley Duncan K.
