iRobie Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I've done a retail install of 10.5.6, upgraded to 10.5.7. Using LeopardSoup's G31M-ES2L kit on my G41M-ES2L motherboard. Everything is working well - even Wake on Lan Ok, sound doesn't work, but that's a $7 fix. Anyway, I installed LeopardSoup's kit, along with the Screensaver Fix. Then I installed LittleSnitch. LittleSnitch is reporting an SSL connection from PubSubAgent to leopardsoup.pbworks.com. Anyone know what this is? I'm not too concerned with it at this point because weaksauce12 is a respected member of this community. He wouldn't be so if he planted trojans or viruses in his downloads. That - and trojans would be more sneaky, like using port 80 so LS wouldn't block it, and going to a fake domain instead of his homepage. Searching around it looks like PubSubAgent syncs bookmarks & keychain with .Mac. And possibly some RSS work. I'm not using any of these features. Thanks! Edit: Corrected motherboard names. ES2L, not ESL2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171871-pubsubagent-trying-to-connect-to-leopardsoup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRobie Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 It looks like this is the agent trying to get the latest RSS feed from Leopardsoup's homepage. What through me off was it using port 443. I didn't think this was an RSS connection because of that. But browsing to the homepage, you can get the same connection request by clicking RSS, then selecting the Recent feed. Guess it's on a secure line. No trojans here I don't know what part of my computer is trying to get the latest feed though. That's another question altogether...

weaksauce12 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Which app is requesting access? None of the apps in my kits have Internet features enabled. The only app that would request Internet access is PCwiz's Uinstaller, which checks for updates (if you have auto-update enabled) or if you request a new plugin from the Plugin Repository (you have to do this manually). The only other thing I can think of is if you downloaded the Soup Wiki Browser app separately, which is based on Fluid - but you have to manually launch that to open up the Wiki website. Check Little Snitch's logs to see what app is requesting the Internet access, because I don't have anything programmed to do that.

Check Little Snitch's logs to see what app is requesting the Internet access, because I don't have anything programmed to do that. It's the app "pubsubagent". That's what Little Snitch is reporting. As I mentioned above, the same thing happens when you try to view your Recent RSS feed. It's on port 443. So somehow I subscribed to your feed without knowing it. Thanks for the hard work! I recently was irritated about the network adapter taking ~8 second to wake after sleeping. (Not a big deal for most, but I have my iTunes & photo libraries stored on an NAS share). Look to your website, and there's a solution! You've done a fantastic job at documenting how to get Gigabyte motherboards working w/ a retail source.
