Everybody has tap danced around your original question for a reason; but, nobody has come out and explained it to you. Consider this: May 19 11:09:32 trout kernel: martian source c521fea9 for fffffea9, dev eth1 May 19 11:09:32 trout kernel: ll header: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 01 03 79 6c a9 08 00 May 19 11:09:36 trout kernel: NET: 6 messages suppressed. The 'NET ... suppressed' message is symptomatic of some other problem. Please, re-read my last sentence. In my example, above, the *real* problem is an influx of `martians' and `ll headers' messages. Sometimes, when the there is a flood of messages through syslogd, it recognizes that repetition and consolidates repeated messages, like this: May 19 21:34:51 trout last message repeated 3 times Can you imagine how many more messages you'd be dealing with, if it actually logged every one, instead of this consolidation? Imagine if that number `3' was actually `3000000' ;< In your case, the kernel itself recognizes the repetition and consolidates repeated messages. Bottomline, if you identify the root cause of this message flooding, and correct it, then you will no longer witness these 'NET ... suppressed' messages. hth -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
