Just as an example, my daily log resulted in me getting the following message about 10 times: > arp: 128.175.75.32 moved from 00:40:95:00:2a:59 to 00:40:95:00:2a:a4 on fxp1 Since fxp1 is my card to the "outside", i'm guessing that someone on my subnet changed their ethernet card? or would that be wrong? I also get other messages like: mail: Mail Queue (2 requests) --Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------ CAA19205 806 Wed Jul 21 02:00 root (mailer local died with signal 14) root BAA13341 (no control file) Which I'd also like to understand (particularly if they're good/bad/indifferent). I'm still learning, and after a full year of running I'm still configuring all the stuff I never knew I had to / should, so any help that can be offered or suggested readings would be great.
