This looks to me like someone unauthorized is trying to login to your server. My advice to Roberto is this: FC5 is no longer supported. You don’t seem to be ready to handle security single-handed (if you were, you wouldn’t be asking here). You’re evidently seeing random Internet users trying your security. You need to plan around a security problem being found with your version of ipop3d. Either you need to follow the appropriate security lists, and be ready to patch your version of ipop3d quickly, or you need to use a supported operating system which will do this for you. If you’re not prepared to update Fedora yearly to keep on supported versions, I recommend that you move to CentOS, which can provide updates for longer (thanks to Red Hat). Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | In the Royal Air Force a landing’s OK, aprilcottage.co.uk | If the pilot gets out and can still walk away. | But in the Fleet Air Arm the outlook is grim, | If your landings are duff and you’ve not learnt to swim. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
