- Looks like one person with several accounts or several different people on
- different accounts are attempting to enter your machine via FTP. The
- connections are coming from 4 different domains. Do you have ftpd set up, and
- if so, have you advertised yourself as running an FTP site?
-
- ftpd is enabled by default on AmiTCP - if you do not want people gaining
- access to your system in this way, remove ftpd from your inetd.conf, by
- deleting or commenting out (with a #) a line similar to:
-
- ftp stream tcp nowait root AmiTCP:serv/ftpd ftpd -l -x
-
- Attempted access to the conventional port number for FTP (21) will continue
- to be logged unless you specifically disable it in inet.access, e.g. with
-
- ftp *.*.*.* deny
-
- (adding LOG to the end of this line will allow you to log attempted FTP
- access, although such attempts will still be refused).
