Did you by chance look at the logs of your router? (If that is logging) can you see an in bound connection to your box? Is there a WAP in the house? Is it secured? WPA2? If so what about those logs? Any unusual machine names on the network toplogy? (meaning is someone squatting on your network and you dont know yet? ) Just ideas.

I'm not sure why you're looking up a 172 IP address. The output is a host name not an IP. c-24-91-141-173.hsd1.ma.comcast. net. Is this your cable modem? On Dec 16, 2012 12:09 PM, "Bill Mills-Curran" <bill@mills-curran.net> wrote:
I was looking at the output of "last" recently and found several entries like this on my home server:
userxx pts/0 c-24-91-141-172. Sun Dec 2 14:57 - 15:09 (00:11)
(userxx represents my username)
I did a reverse lookup on 172.141.92.24:
host 172.141.92.24 24.92.141.172.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer AC8D5C18.ipt.aol.com.
Looks like something from AOL.
I got a little freaked, so I changed my password and also blocked that IP in /etc/hosts.deny.
I'm not an aol user, but my wife is... but the "last" output shows this as connecting with my username.
Any ideas?
