Hi all
I am getting a repeated message in the /var/log/messages log.
Oct 23 10:52:00 hostname xinetd[10491]: refused connect from xxx.yyy.zz.aa
Oct 23 10:57:26 hostname xinetd[10491]: refused connect from xxx.yyy.zz.aa
The IP is pretty much the same. The last part of the IP has changes a few times making me think that it is a dialup. IS this server trying to connect to my box? If so how can I find out what it is tyring to do.
Any comments will be appreciated!

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux.
I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK.
