Hi, in my syslog there's an entry indicating a refused anonymous
FTP login attempt. The address in numerical form is also there.
Is there any way to backtrack the number to an actual address so
I can see who tried to access the machine? I've tried contacting
the machine via telnet and ftp but no luck. thanks for any help in
advance. dave smith dave@mando.mit.edu
