[cobalt-users] Unapproved "approved zone transfer"



Hi, all...

I found this little goody mailed to me this morning by LogCheck:

Mar  3 03:48:21 adan named[443]: approved AXFR from
[198.163.115.99].4230 for "informa.org.gt"
Mar  3 03:48:21 adan named[443]: zone transfer (AXFR) of
"informa.org.gt" (IN) to [198.163.115.99].4230

The curious thing is:

* I don't use this domain (all traffic is pointed to the .com)
* Everything in named.conf says "allow-update from none"
* I don't see anything else in the logs from this IP
* I don't even know anyone in Canada
* Why the hell would mudpuppy.armchair.mb.ca want my zone file?

I'd treat it as a hack attempt, but there doesn't seem to be a point.
Can anyone offer any comments?

P.S. Logcheck is my friend. ipchains is about to be my friend.
PortSentry will be my friend by tomorrow, as soon as ipchains is active.
These things help me sleep better at night. Happy Rodolfo.
