Hi again, BTW, is there any chance to add the process command/ executable/ whatever (a la netstat -p)?

They seem to be non-NULL for outgoing connections and for connections coming from the internal network. Even then, they don't seem to be accurate timings. >> >> The mail log for the IP above IP is as follows (the source port is always 32767): >> >> Feb 15 12:08:07 22 north imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=sungjtrio@xxxxxxxxxxxx, ip=[66.110.216.209], port=[41204] >> Feb 15 12:08:16 23 north imapd: Disconnected, ip=[66.110.216.209], port=[41204], time=16 >> Feb 15 12:08:47 23 north imapd: Connection, ip=[66.110.216.209], port=[45344] >> Feb 15 12:08:54 22 north imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=sungjtrio@xxxxxxxxxxxx, ip=[66.110.216.209], port=[45344] >> Feb 15 12:09:06 23 north imapd: Disconnected, ip=[66.110.216.209], port=[45344], time=19 >> >> Disconnections are likely caused by conntrack -D -s 66.110.216.209. I'm reporting abusive login attempts at end-of-day, and I've been told to mention my server (target) address and port, 62.94.243.226:143 in this case. Since the mail log doesn't mention that data, the idea is to find it in the NFCT log based on the time and source IP. >> >> Should I be running conntrackd? >> Should I play with socket buffer/ resync timeout/ backlog_oneshot_requests/ ring_buffer_size? >> Any other hint? >> >> >> TIA >> Ale >> >
