Hi -- I'm noticing lot's of these in the /var/log/messages file:
Mar 24 15:16:07 domU-12-31-39-00-09-F2 syslog-ng[25138]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 17: host name/name mismatch: ec2-67-202-53-122.compute-1.amazonaws.com != domU-12-31-35-00-04-A1.z-2.compute-1.internal Mar 24 15:16:07 domU-12-31-39-00-09-F2 syslog-ng[25138]: Syslog connection rejected by tcpd; from='AF_INET(67.202.53.122:48703)' Mar 24 15:16:17 domU-12-31-39-00-09-F2 syslog-ng[25138]: Syslog connection accepted; fd='22', client='AF_INET(67.202.53.122:48187)', local='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:5000)' Apparently, access is being denied, as it should be. It's just a little disconcerting to see the "connection accepted" message after it has been rejected. telnet this.domain.com 5000 Trying 171.122.232.186... Connected to this.domain.com. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. Is this the expected behavior? Is there some way to prevent all these messages from showing up in the log file?
