Thanks for the reply.

Group;
I've been running a PPro 200 DEC server for a number of years. O/S is Red
Hast 7.3 with patches.
I have a couple of lines in my access_log for httpd i.e. CONNECT
irc.chatstop.net:6667
It appears someone is trying to connect thru my machine to that server on
port 6667.
What is all this about? What will someone gain of they can get thru my
machine?
Proxy connection to services via your machine --> you get blamed for
bad stuff 'cos you acting as unwitting proxy. Bad.
Redhat 7.3 is well passed its use by date, perhaps an upgrade to some
less vulnerable distro?
