I upgraded a Retina MacBook Pro from Mavericks to Yosemite. This computer has Firewall enabled. On the first reboot into Yosemite I encountered an alert which requested permission for incoming connections to "emlog.pl". This is a perl script for the Event Monitor Log Scraper, described at
The executable is at /usr/libexec/emlog.pl
I am currently working on two other Macs, a new Retina iMac which was shipped with Yosemite, and an older MacBook Pro which was updated from Lion to Yosemite. All three Macs have emlog.pl. But the Retina MacBook Pro is the only one which wants incoming connections to that script. It is also the only one that has Xcode installed. Does Xcode 6.1 need this function, perhaps for remote debugging? Or is something else going on?
I encountered the same alert on one of five Macs that I upgraded to Yosemite. My research wasn't as good as yours, and I couldn't find anything online telling me what "emlog.pi" is. I therefore assumed it was malware and refused to grant it permission. It's been a while now, and I don't see anything going wrong with that Mac.
Two of my Macs had Xcode installed, but only one of those Macs presented the alert. It was the Mac on which I actually use Xcode; on the other Mac, Xcode just sits there in case I need it someday, although it is fully configured. I thought I looked for emlog.pi and found it only on the first Mac, but now I see that it is on the other one, too.
So I'm interested in the answer to your question, too. |
