SMP Portal configuring remote syslog hosts

[John_Fleming]

So this seems.. odd.. I signed up my 1550 into the SMP portal, which i'm not sure if i'm digging so far but thats another story.

I was poking around in syslog configuration and ran across this.

$ModLoad imuxsock.so
$LocalHostName |stuff|
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /opt/fw1/bin/ca-bundle.crt
$ActionSendStreamDriver ossl
$ActionSendStreamDriverMode 1
$ActionSendStreamDriverAuthMode x509/name
$ActionSendStreamDriverPermittedPeer *.Syslog
$template format,"%$YEAR% %timegenerated% %HOSTNAME% %syslogfacility-text%.%syslogpriority-text% %programname%: %msg%\n"
$outchannel msg_rotation,/var/log/messages, 204800,/pfrm2.0/bin/log_gzip.sh /var/log/messages
$outchannel ntf_rotation,/logs/notifications, 204800,/pfrm2.0/bin/log_gzip.sh /logs/notifications
*.info;mail.!* :omfile:$msg_rotation;format
mail.info :omfile:$ntf_rotation;format
*.info;mail.!* @mysyslogserver:514
*.info;mail.!* @209.87.212.13:514
*.info;mail.!* @209.87.212.16:514
*.info;mail.!* @209.87.212.14:514

I never configured the firewall to send syslog events to those addresses. I get the need for logs but OS logs? Again maybe its part of SMP and thats fine I guess.. but udp syslog? That just seems a bit strange. I sure hope there is some dynamic filtering going on and that those addresses aren't just open to the public at large.

oh and.. uh.. the default gaia web portal is enabled on those. Again seems.. um.. strange.
