[8.162][QUESTION][ANSWERED] pptp packet length

Hi All

I am getting the following and it seems like something useful to Astaro team but not us. Is it something left there on purpose?

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet length 12300 outside (0 - 220)

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet length 20304 outside (0 - 220)

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet length 21582 outside (0 - 220)

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: dropped small initial connection

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet length 17517 outside (0 - 220)

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet length 14848 outside (0 - 220)

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet length 256 outside (0 - 220)

2011:03:31-18:27:45 *******  pptpd[5825]: MGR: initial packet bad magic

Thanks

That's probably just a random TCP peer connecting to pptpd at port 1723. Nothing to worry about, really. You may be able to find out more about what the peer is trying to do if you run `tcpdump -nvvi ethX tcp port 1723` when this happens again. Just replace ethX with the name of your external interface.
