I have a PowerMac G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9. and im not a local network at home with my partners Mac (same setup etc).
I recently downloaded and installed a program called "Little Snitch" just to check it out. Their website is http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/
This program alerts you to outgoing network connections.
Here my question...
Little Snitch would give me are warning pop-up window saying:
The application "smbclient" wants to connect to "my ip address " TCP port 445 (microsoft-ds)
I have the option to allow or deny the connection. So I select deny. Then I get a second pop-up window with more or less the same information.
Can someone tell me what it is and if its safe?
