Greetings -

In my logwatch report this morning I noticed reference to an attempt
to connect to rsync from an external IP address.  It doesn't appear
that the connection was successful based on correlating information
between /var/log/secure and /var/log/messages.  But I am looking for
some suggestions for implementing more preventative measures, if
necessary.  The log information from the last few attempts are shown
below.

/var/log/secure
Oct 13 00:14:08 Bison xinetd[2232]: START: rsync pid=15306 from=180.97.106.36 Oct 13 01:55:51 Bison xinetd[2232]: START: rsync pid=15343 from=85.25.43.94 Oct 13 23:25:35 Bison xinetd[2232]: START: rsync pid=16548 from=114.119.37.86

/var/log/messages

There is no /etc/rsyncd.conf file present on the system, so I can see
why the connection wasn't successful.  Our backups get pushed to this
one from other servers using rsync.

You can block access to tcp/udp port 873 from external addresses.
You probably don't need rsync server either and can just disable it.
