When using potlatch it seems Yahoo is trying to gather my phone number as well as my credit card info, so my firewall warns me. Running ethereal on the PPPoe shows a lot of interesting activity as well. Not much idea what it means but very entertaining.
Have no idea why they would need my credit card, kind of eerie.

What makes you think that it is asking for your credit card?

I've added paypal.com to my hosts file

How _can_ Yahoo gather your phone number or credit card info? What is it that makes you think that's happening?

I'm with katpatuka on the pay pal hosts file. Just how do you do that say on PCcillin? or even a fedora box. My apologies for any alarm. I think maybe pay pal chatter is matching randomly information my firewall is blocking (such as credit card, phone number). Next time my firewall kicks off a warning I'll study it in more detail and post it here if relevant.

Sent a screenshot to TomH, the firewall says the culprit is http://maps.yahooapis.com/trac

You should get a less paranoid firewall! There is no way that maps.yahooapis.com/track.php is sending anything even remotely like a phone number. It sends the latitude and longitude of the area you're looking at, and that's about it. Any firewall dim enough to think that a long number is automatically a phone number deserves to be filed under "crying wolf".

/me takes a random guess at PeerGuardian2 Tinfoil Edition?

TomH informs me the problem is the lat long strings. Guess I'll set my firewall on "insecure" : )
