Hi,

     We're testing Gauntlet 3.1 on a SunOS 4.1.4. Everything
seems fine except for the following two error messages we see
on the log file:


     Message #1:
     securityalert: tcp from XX.XX.XX.XX:2315 to YY.YY.YY.YY 
     *******************************************************
     on unserved port 113
     ********************

          Port 113 is for authentication and YY.YY.YY.YY is
     the IP address of the firewall. This message appears at
     random - sometimes they appear, sometimes they do not. 
     But when they do appear, it's HUGE occupying lots of 
     lines in the log file. During the interval that they do
     not appear, netperm says that port 113 is on a LISTEN
     status. We're sure that we didn't run any daemon on the
     Gauntlet to use port 113.

          What exactly is this "access" all about? If this
     access is really necessary to the function of the fire-
     wall, what should we do so that they won't appear in
     the log file anymore?

     Message #2:
     fwtkcfgerr: Policy policy-inside has no permit-proxy 
     ****************************************************
     line for http-gw
     ****************

          This message appears when a client that is not
     given access to http-gw, as defined in a policy, tries
     to access http-gw. We have clearly stated in the 
     netperm-table "policy-inside: deny-proxy http-gw".

          Why is this happenning? We really can't figure it
     out. Moreover, it seems that this error message some-
     times appears and sometimes does not.


     Has anybody had encountered the error messages above
before? We surely could use some advice. We're in a deep
pit right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     Thanks a lot.

George

P.S.

     I've searced the archives but couldn't find the relevant
info.
