[asterisk-users] Remote Unix Connection

[covici at ccs.covici.com]

Do you have freepbx anywhere it always tries to connect -- via a socket
I think and it usually uses the manager, so if you disable the manager
it will break things.  Also take the port stanza off of the tcpdump and
you will soon see what is connecting.  You will get other stuff, but
this will tell you.

Although the message says 'remote UNIX connection' but it can be very well something from localhost. I would suggest to use tcpdump to find out the IP of this service. AMI uses TCP port 5038.
