   I don't know how to interpret this section from logwatch:

  Refused Connections:
     Service in.comsat:
        localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): 235 Time(s)

   In ~/.bash_profile biff is set to 'n'. Does the above mean someone
external tried to log in via ssh claiming their computer was
'localhost.localdomain'? Or is this somethinge else and possible related to
the non-appearance of incoming e-mail messages supposedly passed on by
procmail?
