MY IPS system has been warning me of regular - time initiated http messages to www.kde.org. These messages are auto sent 24/7 even by idle Workstations. I cannot test a gnome desktop, however I think they may not be auto sent.

Looks to be a traffic report from your router. Check your router configuration. note: 198.168.1.1 is normally a router addr. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Does anyone know

1. Their purpose

See the source code in case of paranoia. (http://websvn.kde.org/)

2. What is in the self initiated http traffic.

Probably one of the dozens of KDE apps you are using is trying to get a sort of update, most likely RSS feeds, KDE is fully integrated with the network Use a sniffer if you want to see what is contained in the HTTP request. Systems talks each other always. firefox talks google, mozilla.org and probably to other places as well, nothing to worry about.

P.S Please refrain from using the expression "digital Rights Messages"

WTH are you talking about. ? geez.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
