[cobalt-users] RE: Proftpd accessing localhost for no reason

Hello All,

I am facing the following problem, when I tail my /var/log/messages in
my Raq4, I see repeated log of the following every fifteen minutes.  The
Raq4 has been patched with all the newest pacthes from Sun, and had no
idea what is happening?

Can anyone please advise me?

Thanks,

Siao

I had the same prob, and found the answer here:

Ok, so it was after getting pointed there by this list, rather than
ninja like sysadmin techniques, but hey, I'm TRYING! ;-)
