Re: [PLUG] Incoming connection attempts--is this normal?

["Gregson Helledy" <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

Paul,
Thanks.

diald.filter is a pretty involved file, at least the e-smith one that my 
install came with.  I tried changing the connect time from "medium" to 
"short", which reduces the amount of time the link stays up, with 
different values for different types of connections.  I then manually 
adjusted the tcp.www value from a miserly 3 minutes to a more-reasonable 
7 minutes (apparently some web pages take me 5 minutes or so to read) 
and so far, so good.

I will take a look at changing logging so it doesn't record every 
incoming connection attempt.  You're right, it's resulting in large log 
files with little useful information in them.

Greg
