syslog message

[linda_9]

Three messages appear regularly in the syslog.log:
1???Register/tcp connection from host1.
2???Telnet/tcp connection from unkown.
3???/sbin/lvlnboot -v vg00.
Does the host has any trouble?

Hi,

The first message indicates that there is an ftp session from host1 (normal message)
The second message could be a problem. Set up 'inetd' to run with logging. Have a look at the man page for 'inetd' If you think it is a problem you can deny the service from that particular IP address using the /var/adm/inetd.sec file.
The third indicates that there is an automatic job that most likely saves your LVM configuration. The easiest way to check is by the time posted in the syslog file and having a look at what scripts are executed from your crontab at that time.
