-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have just installed a new firewall and am receiving this strange message from syslogd sent to all consoles: Message from syslogd at taylor at Sat Jul 2 00:06:44 2005 ... taylor vmunix: <4>IN-unknown:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:06:2a:ce:24:54:08:00 SRC=10.40.32.1 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=395 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID =9790 PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=375 This is one example. They come 3 or 4 times a day and all look similar to this. It may seem like a N00B question, but is this a problem? Can I stop the messages from being written to all consoles and only have them logged? Another N00B question: What is this message saying happened to the packet? Is it being dropped, accepted and logged or something entirely different? There is a corresponding syslog entry that looks exactly the same but without the message header. Thanks for any help, Lorenzo - -- - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s:+ a- C+++ UL++++ P+ L+++ E- W++ N o K- w--- O M V- PS+++ PE Y+ PGP++ t++ 5+ X+ R tv-- b++ DI-- D+ G e* h---- r+++ y+++ - ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCxhTvG9IpekrhBfIRAn6mAKCQR+6Hwd01uI1PsIglv+RXWfaX/QCcDwvj d8Sm0Xxzx8tBXq6p6PUj9co= =RvdY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
