Hi all, I've noticed on my firewall log a couple of tcp connection attempts (from different IPs) with port 6000 as the source port on the remote host and port 7212 as the destination port on my box. Is there another application besides XWindows that uses port 6000 and that someone would be using to try to connect to me? I'm not concerned about, obviously my firewall is working. But I thought if I asked, I might learn something. Thank you.
Also, a question about list etiquette. After someone answers your question, is it ok to post a thank you message?

---- yes it's ok - probably more important to say this resolved my problem to leave tracks for others that may go down your path and perhaps can find it in the archives - if it's particularly a troublesome problem... adding [SOLVED] to the subject is a good thing to do too.
