Hello all,
I just installed a logwatch on my machine and ran it for the first time
just a few minutes ago. It showed me something very interesting and it
was the only thing in the logwatch log. Just a bunch of the same
entries. The IP address varied but most of them looked like invalid
arguments except for about 3 of them that didn't. See below:
--------------------- XNTPD Begin ------------------------
**Unmatched Entries**
.....
sendto(80.190.233.67): Invalid argument
synchronized to 80.190.233.67, stratum 2
synchronized to 80.33.117.152, stratum 3
sendto(80.190.233.67): Invalid argument
.....
---------------------- XNTPD End -----------------------
Does anyone know what this means or can this possibly mean that my
system has been hacked?
These entries mean that some of the ntp servers you're using (probably
results returned from lookups of pool.ntp.org) aren't responding
reliably. This is not unusual and may be a result of issues with your
own network link.
