syslog-ng unknown messages in my syslog.log file(HP-UX)
Hello everyone, I've just received syslog messages that I completely don't understand. Does anybody know why this messages have been sent to syslog.log file. And also if there is any problem with my server machine. And what I should do to solve the problem. Feb 13 16:21:23 hpd002 syslog: libtt[18108]: ttdt_Xt_input_handler(): tttk_message_receive(): TT_ERR_NOMP^INo ttsession pr ocess is running, probably because tt_open() has not been called yet. If this code is returned from tt_open() it means tts ession could not be started, which generally means ToolTalk is not installed on this system.

My guess is someone's been trying to run a buffer overrun exploit on your libtt install. (a part of the ToolTalk package) a quick look on securityfocus pulls up 14 advisories against that particular software. my guess is you're being hit by someone trying to exploit this: http://online.securityfocus.com/advisories/3647 but that's just a really quick guess.
