Hello Folks:
I was wondering if anybody can tell me what's going on with the following:
I have an AIX box and Linux box on the same network switch. The AIX box
has been around awhile and the Linux box is fairly new. After a reboot of
the AIX box, I notice messages in my Linux box logs of the nature:
portmap[31218]: connect from xxx.xxx.xxx.x to callit(mountd): request from
unauthorized host
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.x is my AIX box. Looks like that upon bootup of my
AIX box, a probe is taking place of other machines in the vicinity.
I am wondering what's causing such a probe of other machines and how I
might configure whatever is doing it, to stop doing it.
Many thanks
