Is there anyone that can give a pointer at how i could figure out what the server has been trying too do, cause i have no idea?
I have a number of cron scripts running at night, and the only ones that uses network is my webstats and iptables stats, and these only uses DNS...
Thats whats makes it really weird...
Any help would be appriciated |

One of the scripts in /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} has generated this message. The fact that you got the two mails with roughly one hour time difference makes /etc/cron.hourly suspicious. I would start to inspect the scripts in this directory.
On the other hand, it seems that it was a temporary problem, otherwise you would still get mails. Probably not worth the trouble. |

I did inspect that directory and other crontab related files, but i can't find anything...
I would like too know how i can monitor thise events, i'm thinking of logging all outgoing connections at night and alnalyze them, but that will only give me a hint on what it's trying too do not whats trying to do it, any other way? |
