It's saying that the connection is to and from the same machine. ie.
slogin 123.456.789.987 (not slogin localhost or 127.0.0.1)
If that were the case, it wouldn't be a big deal because only one machine
would be involved, and I wondered what's the big concern then?
Normally firewalls have two different addresses listed, neither of them
are the IP of the local machine.
