Replicatord and KDC in macOS Sequoia 15

Confusion over system messages that ask for permission to certain mysteriously named or unknown applications to access my computer running macOS Sequoia 15.


1) Should I ALLOW or DENY this application to receive incoming connections?


2) Should I set my Firewall Settings to allow all built-in software to receive incoming connections?






MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.3

Firewall where...? if this is the built in Application Firewall I would turn that off and see if your issues resolve.


it is of no value.
