Hi there, Long time since I posted on the list I am having an odd problem here I have a firewall/gateway machine that is redhat 6.2 another machine is a redhat 7.0 mail server pop/smtp Everytime someone from behind the firewall wants to check mail (the mail machine also is an external ip not internal) I get one of these in my system logs on the mail server Mar 1 22:02:17 mail xinetd[9423]: Bad line received from identity server at 216.XXX.XX.XXX: 61328 Mar 1 22:02:30 mail xinetd[9425]: Bad line received from identity server at 216.XXX.XX.XXX: 61330 Mar 1 22:05:22 mail xinetd[9426]: Bad line received from identity server at 216.XXX.XX.XXX: 61332 Mar 1 22:07:36 mail xinetd[9427]: Bad line received from identity server at 216.XXX.XX.XXX: 61334 The ip shown here is the external firewall ip. Now someone has told me that yes this is a problem and it lies with the imap/pop package from redhat. but I can't find out why or how to fix this. it is very annoying to have thousands of these in your system logs. as you can see the end # is incremented each time... so when I mean thousands, i mean thousands..... Anyone with any info, I would greatly appreciate it... _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
