Re: [cobalt-users] Odd activity



Hi guys, recently I have been placed in charge of the RAQ4 server which we
rent from an ISP... I installed logcheck and im getting a lot of weird
activity... Now I only have experience in BSD and a little Linux. I am
wondering if this web management software may be causing this. Here is a
Snippet of the logs.

Jun  1 00:15:00 f04-4-3-00-0472 proftpd[18809]: XXX.XXX.XXX
(localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.
Jun  1 00:15:00 f04-4-3-00-0472 proftpd[18809]: XXX.XXX.XXX
(localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed.
Jun  1 00:30:01 f04-4-3-00-0472 proftpd[19399]: XXX.XXX.XXX
(localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.
Jun  1 00:30:01 f04-4-3-00-0472 proftpd[19399]: XXX.XXX.XXX
(localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed.
Jun  1 00:45:00 f04-4-3-00-0472 proftpd[19983]: XXX.XXX.XXX
(localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.

I have looked at Cron for every user and I cant find a thing... I have
looked at the ProFTP mailing list thou I doubt its a ProFTP problem but more
of a configuration problem when the isp installed the machine... Thank you
all for any advise or suggestions.


Why is this odd? It is just the FTP daemon connecting and disconnection every 15 minutes. The Cobalt GUI system does this to make sure the FTP service is up and running.
