This is on 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that sits on a corporate network behind a fascist proxy. I just noticed today that this applepushserviced process likes to be talkative to syslog every five minutes, like so:
Googling hasn't proved informative, and I assume the connection refused is because of the proxy situation. The question is: what the heck is this thing for (the manual page isn't informative either other than stating it's for the Apple Push Notification service)? Better yet, what feature of the OS uses this daemon, and can it be disabled? I don't really care about the log spam (logs are rotated afterall), but being on a corporate network with fascist policies in place, I need to make sure the machine isn't trying to hit some network resource it's not supposed to be. This sort of thing could raise a red flag and have the IT clowns breathing down my neck.
