Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686 Version: 2.6.11-7 Severity: wishlist
I'm getting a lot of 'svc: bad direction' kernel messages. Apparently these are caused by random internet idiots doing portscans, or whatever, resulting in invalid RPC requests. It seems to me there is no reason to report this sort of error; the printk is a larger problem than the invalid request (which is just dropped), for me and I suspect for 99%+ of users. Moreover, blocking the port is a hassle because it is dynamically assigned, and the error message is worthless because it does not report the source of the request. I suggest Debian's kernel disable printk for invalid RPC requests via #define RPC_PARANOI 0 (in net/sunrpc/svc.c, line 23). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
