I recently installed a new firewall script, and in the course of debugging it, I have looked more carefully at my /var/log/messages file than I had done before now. I am getting an occasional entry which I believe is unrelated to my firewall, that appears every couple of hours or so at seemingly random times. I cannot find any information about it. Has anyone seen this before? or have any clues where I might look? It seems harmless, but -- "famous last words?" The messages start with a time, my host name, and then this: time: host: kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Comments or suggestions welcome.
