That suggests that something on your network is sending packets from steadily increasing port numbers that Shorewall (well, iptables in the kernel) is blocking and logging. Have you checked your logs to see if this is happening even before you shutdown the computer? Or is something that happens at shutdown causing something else on the network to send these packets? (That would be strange.) A quick Google search shows that port 152 is for bftp, "background file transfer program". Never heard of it before, myself. A quick check of netstat on my PC doesn't show that port being used. A quick "apt-cache search bftp" didn't turn up anything. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
