Today in Debian-User I replied to a user's concern about his log traffic:
> Ever since I upgraded to potato my syslog and kern.log has grown to huge > sizes: > Feb 9 04:36:34 rademaker kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=17 > 130.161.65.12:138 130.161.65.127:138 L=242 S=0x00 I=7424 F=0x0000 T=128 > (#6) The response I gave was pretty lame, basically because I'm not sure what's going on either, other than an IP chain rule is denying packets. So if I could ask a few questions, in order of priority; where can I find documentation on what all the fields in the above log entry mean? Does anyone know what specific package changed recently in potato to generate this (my guess is the ipmasq package, but that's a guess)? Also, does anyone have a quick fix for this issue? I "fixed" it myself by moving back to my old firewall rules, but that doesn't mean I know anything more about the issue than before it happened, so again, doc pointers and/or whacks with a clue-bat would be appreciated, TIA. -- Regards, | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GNU/Linux: superior tools . | <http://www.golgotha.net> | for those who know how Randy | | to use them.
