I have two machines running Corel Linux 1.0 (not sure which debain release this corresponds to) and am having difficulty with one or possibly both of them. The one machine, named kovu, started responding with "Resource temporarily unavailable" messages when I tried to perform most any task from a shell. Upon further investigation, I noticed that it was swamped with sleeping tcplogd processes. The daemon log was full of messages of the form
"tcplogd: port 832 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and also "tcplogd: port 832 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" where meeko is my other linux box. Inspection of meeko's logs showed tons of messages of the form "tcplogd: auth connection attempt from kovu.sabado.com" On kovu, I restarted iplogger and all the sleeping tcplogd's went away. However, every 5-15 minutes a new one is added and I assume they will eventually chew up all available processes. There are no extra instances of tcplogd on meeko. Obviously, I've screwed something up somewhere, but don't know what. Any guess as to what's going on? Is there any particular significance to port 832? I didn't see it listed in the services. What on meeko could be attempting to open this port? Further, why does tcplogd keep spawning new processes that don't go away? I realize that iplogger is being replaced, but would really like to understand this problem before I explore upgrading packages. Thanks for any help. Mark Lynn Sabado Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]
