    Secure log help

    Can somebody clafiry what this means? It is in my secure log file:

    xinetd[5544]: START: smtp pid=6574 from=xx.xx.xx.xx
    xinetd[5544]: START: ftp pid=6465 from=xx.xx.xx.xx

    They are repeated in my secure log hundreds of times, one every second or so.

    Also how can I stop my ftp and smtp service? Tried the usuals:

    service ftpd stop
    /etc/init.d/proftpd stop

    It's a Fedora server.

    Seems, your ftp and smtp servers are not standalone, but started via xinetd.

    That means, you need to disable them in the xinetd config, ie: /etc/xinetd.d/
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
