Not intuitively... That says it logged them, it doesn't explicitly say it's logged prevented connections. It'd be less worrying for people if it said "logged and dropped packets," or words to that effect. For all you know, it's logged something unusual that *happened*. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
