ftp request to a Linux box every 5 min.

by iamsanchez . Updated 23 years, 9 months ago

A windows 2000 box is issuing ftp requests to a linux box every five minutes. Where’s it coming from? How do I stop it?

One entry from /var/log/secure log file on the linux server. The IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX corresponds to the W2K system in question.

Jul 24 13:54:42 linuxbox xinetd[607]: START: ftp pid=2541 from=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Jul 24 13:54:43 arial xinetd[607]: EXIT: ftp pid=2541 duration=1(sec)

Any ideas?
Rafael.
