It means that someone is broadcasting NetBIOS trash through their internet connection in your neighborhood and it is looking for more computers to join the network. It is "web trash" and can be safely be dropped from logging. SILENT_DENY is used with Dachstein to avoid logging this. Personally, I don't log anything on the 192.168./16 subnet. The "LEAF Command FAQ" has some examples of how to do this several ways using SILENT_DENY in the Dachstein section. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=9267&group_id=13751 I hope this helps, -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
