Dear All,
Thank you for your advise and help:
-Casper (Casper.Dik@Sun.COM)
- joe_fletcher@btconnect.com
- Ric Anderson (ric@opus1.com)
- JayJay Florendo (arflorendo@gmail.com)

Summary:
1) "It's just a coincidence; the system has used port 1524 (ingreslock)
to connect to your SPARC";

2)"There used to be a standard hack years ago against the ingreslock port on solaris.
Thought it was well patched by now though.";

3)"Check /etc/inet/services (and make sure /etc/services is a symbolic
link to /etc/inet/services) for INGRESLOCK."

4) "Look at the source and dest IPs, If you don't recognize them, you may be under attack."

I agree that it was just a coincidence that port 1524 was used to connect to the Sparc. The Sun Sparc has up-to-date patch and nothing abnormal was observed for the last few days.

Regards
Alan
