I was just reading a page describing bootps and bootpc, but I hadn't realized yet that those were probably from other stations on the network. That makes sense. So this isn't indicative of a problem in my configuration, other than the fact that I am needlessly logging these? How would I write an iptables rule to drop these without logging them? Something like: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --sport 67 --dport 68 -j DROP ?
