Why not find out who's flodding your network with bootp requests? Sounds like it's killing your network performance of your entire network if they are being logged so much. > Feb 7 00:10:24 c526184-a kernel: IP fw-in rej eth0 ICMP/3 255.255.255.255 ICMP/3 is "Destination unreachable"; some router is sending these to the broadcast address, it would appear. More performanc-killers for your network. You really need to find out who's causing all the trouble, rather than just turn off the logging and ignore it. Your computer is trying to tell you about a problem. Don't shoot the messenger. Shoot the guy causing the problem. :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fuzzy Fox) || "Nothing takes the taste out of peanut sometimes known as David DeSimone || butter quite like unrequited love." http://www.dallas.net/~fox/ || -- Charlie Brown --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
