Not sure about the exact cause but you can try replacing rhost with rip. Probably conky is doing host name check up for remote hosts. It might be causing the bandwidth usage. Though it shouldn't be really doing it if there are no remote connections. You could also run tcpdump/wireshark to capture packets and find out what is causing the network usage. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
