Hi list,
I didn't yet update to the new beta, but I've been debugging DNS a bit lately and noticed these weird queries in tcpdump:
192.168.2.224.49483 > 8.8.8.8.53: [udp sum ok] 4303+ AAAA? org.macosforge.xquartz. (40) 18:58:17.371013 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 46, id 24232, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 143)
and I've actually seen them for org.x. as well (though that might've been on a computer without Xquartz installed). This is while Xquartz/X11 is not even running. Does anyone have an idea what could cause this?
That's querying the IPV6 (AAAA) address of xquartz.macosforge.org If you have XQuartz running, it is likely looking to see if there is a new version available.
