this is from my syslog: Jan 5 09:30:57 datatwirl nfsd[3841]: Unauthorized access by NFS client 192.168.1.50. i KNOW there is no 192.168.1.50 on my network, and should not be anywhere on the internet. that ip address does not ping, is not in my /etc/hosts file, and no machine on my local network was ever put on that ip address. so why would nfs tell me something like this? TIA max

Hi Max, is it possible, that any of the other users from your network has a laptop and has tried to access the nfs by that way? (And has now removed the laptop ...) On 05-Jan-01 max wrote:

Nope, there are no laptops, since it is my home network with only 4 machines on it! That's why this is so puzzling... max ----- Original Message ----- From: Ralf Eisinger To: max Cc: Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 8:32 AM Subject: RE: [suse-security] strange nfs things

Maybe you have somewhere a 'hidden' system like vmware configuration running ? That could introduce these extra ip-addressess... - -- Groetjes vanwege...
