Authentication Missing - Warning Message

Hello all,

Has anyone else observed this warning message?  I've pasted a few lines from my log below.  The message is appearing exactly every 30 minutes.  I've disabled SickBeard, CouchPotato, and myNZB on my iPhone.  There should be nothing else polling my SABnzbd server.  Is this error message somehow being generated by SABnzbd itself?

As as FYI, even when those other programs were running, nothing was set to poll every 30 minutes.  SickBeard refreshes every 60 minutes.  CouchPotato is set to refresh every 24 hours.  I can't find anything that runs every 30 minutes.

Some "security" apps insist on communicating with everything that looks like a web server.
SABnzbd runs a web server.
If you cannot find the culprit and you are sure your system isn't attacked by
an outside party, you can disable the warning:

SABnzbd, Sickbeard, CouchPotato, and Plex are all running on my Mac mini. 

I've narrowed down the culprit to my iMac.  When that machine is off, the message goes away. When it's on, it appears in the logs.  I have no idea what's on the iMac that is causing this.

Check with an app like LittleSnitch (on the iMac) ?
