Since setting up Shorewall to discard bad/malformed packets, I've been getting 
a lot of log entries like this. Why? I know that the displayed destination 
address is a broadcast address.

Aug 31 08:31:18 n0sq kernel: Shorewall:badpkt:DROP:IN=eth1 OUT= 
MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:09:e8:b4:c6:c3:08:00 SRC=0.0.0.0 DST=255.255.255.255 
LEN=576 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=8093 PROTO=UDP SPT=68 DPT=67 LEN=556


Also, I've been getting a lot of bad packets from many IP addresses that 
belong to my ISP. The strange thing is that the packets have my address as 
the destination address.

This is sure taking up a lot of log space.
