Hello,

I followed your instructions and, yes, the noise has reduced but I still receive a lot of useless emails. That's because some services are changing the sockets they open:

# Checking listening processes
OLD: --WARN-- [lin002i] The process `rpc.mountd' is listening on socket 808 (UDP) on every interface.
OLD: --WARN-- [lin002i] The process `rpc.mountd' is listening on socket 811 (TCP) on every interface.

NEW: --WARN-- [lin003w] The process `rpc.statd' is listening on socket 996 (UDP on every interface) is run by statd.

How can I manage that?

Thanks,
Ivan
