Aleph, my apologies if this has already been posted. I did a quick search and didn't find anything. Early this morning my machine crashed because of a ypserv flood on portmap. I'm not sure exactly what happened because of my lack of familiarity with nis and portmap. Here's the logs. May 2 04:02:16 localhost portmap[1556]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host May 2 04:02:28 localhost portmap[1557]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host May 2 04:03:13 localhost portmap[1559]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host May 2 04:03:17 bh-ridgway portmap[1560]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host . . . . May 2 05:00:57 localhost portmap[1943]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host May 2 05:01:07 loralhost portmap[1946]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host May 2 05:01:19 localhost portmap[1947]: connect from 130.126.85.3 to callit(ypserv): request from unauthorized host 254 of them, then bang, dead. I'm assuming it's a process table flood or something of the sort. Or perhapse a portmap exploit that I'm not aware of. I run 2.2.5, dual pentium 200mmx, and the offending machine is another linux machine running the 2.1 or the 2.2 kernel (at least that's what queso says). Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -CJO- C.J.
