Summary	0000027: Repeated connect attempts when no debugger is listening
Description	[1] Set xdebug.remote_enable to 'on' in php.ini [2] Fire up something like 'phpMyAdmin' [3] check kernel messages in your log. On FreeBSD [3] will result in: Nov 3 10:32:18 ghost /kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 201 to 200 packets per second This is an anti-portscan defence in the BSD kernel, which indicates that while running a number of php pages, xdebug makes more then 200 connect attempts per second.
