Subject: [gentoo-user] Yahoo and strange traffic.

Hi folks,

I been noticing the past few weeks that something is communicating with 
Yahoo at these addresses:

cs210p2.msg.sp1.yahoo.com

rdis.msg.vip.sp1.yahoo.com

I thought it was Kopete getting some info, profile pics maybe, from the 
server.  Thing is, it does this for a really long time.  It is also 
SENDING data as well.  I have no idea why it is doing this or what it is 
sending.  I closed the Kopete app but the data still carries on.   This 
"transfer" has been going for a while now and the only way I can stop it 
is to stop the network, wait a minute or two for it to time out and then 
restart the network.

Anybody have any idea what the heck this is?  Is Yahoo up to something?  
Some new security issue that I haven't heard of?

Thanks.

Dale

:-)  :-)
