denied packet, where?

2002-12-19 Thread Mark
How quaint! Today, one of the (standard) daily security scripts returned
this:

test-server denied packets:
test-server kernel log messages:
  1 READY ad6: 39205MB Maxtor 2F040J1 [79656/16/63] at ata3-master
UDMA133

I take it that had to go to /var/log/messages? Which would mean I am
inadvertently blocking a packet. Well, pardon my daftness, but what port
would that be blocked on then? I checked /var/log/security, but that is
empty. If it were an ipfw issue, I think it would have wound up in
/var/log/security, right?

I am kinda worried about this, because maybe my kernel is trying to tell me
one of the disks in my RAID 1 failed, and came back on line. If so, I would
like to know about this.

Any suggestion would be welcome!

Thanks!

Yes.  But you're not denying any packets.  The lack of any lines of data
between test-server denied packets: and test-server kernel log messages
indicates that no packets were denied.

 I am kinda worried about this, because maybe my kernel is trying to tell
me
 one of the disks in my RAID 1 failed, and came back on line. If so, I
would
 like to know about this.

The only thing it's telling you is that drive ad6: came back online
(probably due to a soft error or timeout of some sort.)  This message should
also be found in /var/log/messages.

Thanks for the quick reply!

  How quaint! Today, one of the (standard) daily security scripts
  returned this:

Doh on me! :) You are right, of course; in my panic I kinda read it all as
one line.

  tell me one of the disks in my RAID 1 failed, and came back on line.

I don't think I like the sound of that. :( I cannot say that FreeBSD went
beserk or anything, for had it not been for me having read that message, I
would have never noticed it. Still, I hate errors. :) And I hope it does not
affect the mirror.

 This message should also be found in /var/log/messages.

Well, that's the weird part: the message cannot be found in
/var/log/messages (that is why I read the above as a denied packet).
