Hello all. I have these messages being repeated over and over and over in my syslog, every 10 minutes. What do they mean?

I talked to the network admin that this machine is on, and he said he will check and see if there is another machine on the network with the same IP number. I thought that if you put two machines on a network with the same IP, the newest maching on the network would knock off the old machine? When I asked him about it, he said that, although he wasn't sure, he thought that linux "held" onto it's IP address even if another machine on the network showed up with that IP. Is this true? ----------------------------------------------------- Amanda Shuler | I don't want to start any [EMAIL PROTECTED] | blasphemous rumours, but... -----------------------------------------------------
