Sounds like you have a resolver issue. Check your DNS specificaly the reverse lookup. Or you may have been hacked ;-)

(we're behind a firewall on a local network running private ips). the proftpd, telnetd, and sshd haven't changed since i installed them, so i'm looking for suggestions as to what exactly is going on... the dates this has happened in the past are below: start stop 2002.01.16 2002.01.17 2002.02.19 2002.02.20 2002.02.28 ????.??.?? and here's a list of the specs on the two machines: sparc64 rh6.2 inetd telnetd proftpd 1.2.4 apache 1.3.20 pentiumI rh7.2 xinetd sshd proftpd 1.2.4 apache 1.3.23 thanks so much to anyone out there who knows what's going on here. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
