Hi list,

on my machine (SuSE 8.1, up-to-date by fou4s) SuSE-Firewall2 blocks connections to UDP-services 2742 and 8777 (about 20-30 per minute).

2742 udp/tcp is named tsb2 in /etc/services, 8777 is not listed.

Googling showed - tsb2 for port 2742 - "thaliana tryptophan synthase beta-subunit" for tsb2 and - nothing but phone-numbers for 8777

Does anyone know what the hell they are searching for on my machine ??

thx, gert.
