Every computer has an IP of 127.0.0.1, it is the loopback port, localhost is simply an alias for this IP... I think perhaps you are looking at the server (first or third, I forget) that uses redir or similar utility to redirect connects on port 23 to 10152...each of those connects appears to come from the local computer, there is no way through the status page to track the true origin of these.

On the subject of ports, could someone shed some light, or point me to the verbose explanation of function of the ports on aprsd? I have been using port 1313 to connect to the "core" aprsd/aprserv, and a few other regional aprsd machines. I have never had a absolute firm understanding of where we should be connecting. I see many other aprsd machines connecting to 10152 and 23. Dennis, N2LBT |

Dale used to have 'ports.html' available from his site: http://wa4dsy.net/aprs/aprsdDOC.html - the aprsd documentatin is still there, but the link to ports.html isn't working. I've a copy posted at: http://www.ntstrans.com/~ntstate/ports.html The document says it's for 2.1.3 - but the functions are the same 73 "Dennis Hudson, N2LBT" wrote: > > > Maybe we could get those severs to use port 10152 so the ip and identity can > be checked? > > On the subject of ports, could someone shed some light, or point me to the > verbose explanation of function of the ports on aprsd?

I've read this maybe a hundred times already, and only now is it sinking in. So, port 1313 is really useless on first, and third as they do not have a TNC connected, and aren't supposed to have users connected so there should be no data, right? Dennis, N2LBT |
