Hi Eddie, That is the port number that was used. Think of them as the port number with IP, services are on their own ports. A session connect to a server uses port 1024, tty connect to a client uses 87, ping uses 7 and so on. We should have a services file where these are allocated, I don't think there is one (perhaps on the wiki). 73 de Pär (wonder if that character works, a with two dots over that is). P.s. Just adding a date header for smtp, seems its mandatory with some servers... sön 2008-10-19 klockan 10:01 -0700 skrev Kovelan: > Thanks Par, > > so please answer another question: > what does the number after the call mean? > ie: WB5CON:72 or WB5CON:71 (the :72 or :71). > > thanks again, eddie > > --- On Sun, 10/19/08, Pär Crusefalk <per@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Pär Crusefalk <per@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [pskmail] Re: pings.log question > To: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Sunday, October 19, 2008, 10:30 AM > > Hi Eddie, > > I'll answer these in reverse. > > Regarding 2: > I looked through arq.pm and log_ping is called in numerous places.
