Hi! Our firewall detects (and denies) connections from our external web server to our mail servers port 113 (ident). What causes the web server to use that port? And should I permit these connections? Regards, Jochen -- *** Linux BBS: Die deutsche Website fuer Linux-News und -Infos *** http://www.linuxbbs.org/

:! grep -w 113 /etc/services auth 113/tcp tap ident authentication This is usually referenced from the remote host back to you when you relay mail there. Is there smtp traffic in company with these events? You might want to log them for investigation. virtually yours - Gerhard Sittig -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
