[cobalt-security] local ftp and pop3 logins

["Marc Gear" <marcg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My logs give this a lot throughout the syslog of my raq3

<start>
Mar 14 14:15:00 pear in.proftpd[13261]: connect from 127.0.0.1
Mar 14 14:15:13 pear in.qpopper[13285]: connect from 127.0.0.1

it goes on for a long time... Is it something to do with the system monitor
on the control panel checking these services are okay?  I know i am not
running any cron jobs that would give this sort of error.

as it is i know have localhost in my /etc/hosts.deny incase this is a
security issue, but i wondered what might be causing my machine to keep
trying its pop and ftp connections...
