[NTLUG:Discuss] Taming diald

[Brian]

I've been trying to figure out why my diald daemon will bring up a
connection at seemingly random times.  Thanks to a packet sniffer called
protolog, I've discovered the kids' machine, which is usually booted to
Windows, is spewing forth various netbios messages, which I can filter
out.

More perplexing is that my host is trying to resolve itself.  Every 30
seconds, on the money, a udp packet is sent from ports 749 and 760. 
Sometimes 959-961, and 841-843.  The only defined ports I've found in
/etc/service is the following:

kerberos-adm    749/tcp                         # Kerberos `kadmin' (v5)
krbupdate       760/tcp         kreg    # Kerberos registration

Can somebody give me an idea of what's going on here?  I'm not too sure
where to even start searching the LDP...
