Hi folks,

I discovered some strange log entries, which are created by "portsentry" (a 
tool for 
wathing port accesses).

It looks like whenever I insert an USB-drive or a SD-Card, the own system wants 
to 
access on an UDP-Port (69 or 161). It tries also to access all other computers 
in the 
network. 

This looks strange for me, because I can not reproduce, why inserting a memeory 
device, network activies are started. 

With wireshark I could see, this is "BJNP" (whatever this means)

Same happens, when pulling the USB-stick or the sd-card out.

This is, what is in the log:

---------- snap -----------------

Same log appeares on the other computers (with the same source). I inserted the 
card in the computer with the ip "192.168.2.117".

Can anybody confirm this, or does know some background?

Thanks for enlightening me.

Best regards

Hans
