Hi, My FreeBSD machine is connected to the internet via an sdsl line. I'm running sendmail, httpd, ssh, and natd for my two windows machines to have net access (with a wide-open firewall since I've never been able to get firewall_type=simple to allow natd to do its work--but that's for another email.) This morning the security check output mailed to root contained this: <machine.domain.com> kernel log messages: > rl0: promiscuous mode enabled My questions are: how did this happen, and how can I take it out of promiscuous mode? Bear in mind, I don't know much about promiscuous mode other than it's bad for security. Thanks for any help you can give me! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
