Hi Simon, I passed the LDM question to the individual who is writing the code.. Response is below... Hi Jeff, Although I can't tell you exactly why the localhost is making a connection, that is indeed what is going on here and it is perfectly normal. I think every log I've seen had those three lines soon after startup. Such lines can also appear elsewhere. I suspect the localhost connection is handled the same way connections to remote sites are handled - once a connection is established, if it is idle for a while it is lost. You'll see "Connection reset by peer"/"Exiting" messages in the log all the time. So, for the most part, Simon doesn't need to worry if he sees them sprinkled throughout the log.
