- We're having problems where 7 different hosts (3x HPUX, 3x VAX, 1x
- Apollo)
- hit a SCO Xenix box every minute, on the minute trying to get to socket
- 60 000.
- We had several boxes mistakenly running routed and this was causing
- serious
- traffic problems, as everyone who thought they were a router would send
- out
- ICMP redirects in respone to this one SCO box rejecting connect requests
- to
- that port. Well, as of now, we've routed off on all the unnecessary boxes
- and
- have the cicscos configured to filter all socket 60 000 packets, which
- has cut down on traffic considerably, but the problem still exists. Does
- anyone
- have any ideas on how to track this down and eliminate it?? (I'm toying
- with
- writing a hack to listen on port 60 000 and log anything it hears to a
- file. At
- least that will stop the 'connection refused' messages.)
-
- Thanks again,
- Bill Hansley
- Northern Telecom, sort of...
