Dude, I want to know what's going on with the output you're showing me. The
first e-mail showed normal 'netstat -v' output from Solaris, what you're
showing me above is just 'netstat'.

Once again: if you use the -v argument, each connection is two lines: the
first being one end, the other being the other end *plus* extended connection
info. *One* of those lines will show your host, and the port is appended to
the host name/IP.

Now, if you're going to *not* use -v, then the columns above should be
self-explanatory, www.evecosoftware.com is clearly connecting to *your* ssh
daemon.

Keep in mind, you need to look at both ends of a connection before you can
make an educated guess about what kind of traffic is actually being
transmitted. And in this case, if you can verify that you're running ssh on
port 22, then that should be a lock.
