It's impossible to believe that that's even slightly related. "Incomplete startup packet" means that you've got broken client-side software, or perhaps that something is portscanning you. You sure you weren't seeing those beforehand?
I'm not certain I wasn't seeing those beforehand, no. I suppose I jumped to conclusions a bit. Should I be concerned about these "incomplete startup packet" errors? It's unlikely that its a portscan, since the db server is invisible to the outside world. How can I go about tracking down the source of these? My db clients are JDBC connections from web applications.
