Hi! In our lab a firewall (SuSE 6.4) is connected to our subnet to test it. The name or IP-Address of the firewall is not known to any DNS. Nevertheless since about 2 weeks I get the following log of ipchains (a.b.c.d is IP-Adress of our firewall): Sep 27 16:26:39 fw kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth2 PROTO=1 207.88.240.105:3 a.b.c.d:1 L=56 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x0000 T=241 (#22) Sep 27 18:57:57 fw kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth2 PROTO=1 207.88.240.105:3 a.b.c.d:1 L=56 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x0000 T=239 (#22) Sep 28 00:05:10 fw kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth2 PROTO=1 209.249.0.17:11 a.b.c.d:0 L=56 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x0000 T=240 (#22) Sep 28 13:54:07 fw kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth2 PROTO=1 207.88.240.105:3 a.b.c.d:1 L=56 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x0000 T=239 (#22) Those pakets arrive about 2 times a day. Is this anything I have to worry about?
