This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------ABD696746D33D54680111FE2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Since I started using a cable modem and dhclient, my system has been literally overwhelmed with messages like: /kernel: arp: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is using my IP address 0.0.0.0! Man, these messages were pouring out of syslogd like mad, and my /var/log/messages* files had to be deleted, because they were growing so huge. There were literally hundreds of these messages pouring out via syslogd per second, and they were coming non-stop. There were so many messages coming out, my hard drive was overwhelmed until dhclient finally obtain/ed a lease. That said, I suggest we make the following patch to /sys/netinet/if_ether.c: --- if_ether.c.orig Wed Mar 29 02:50:39 2000 +++ if_ether.c Fri Apr 7 11:24:54 2000 @@ -554,9 +554,9 @@ return; } if (isaddr.s_addr == myaddr.s_addr) { - log(LOG_ERR, + /* log(LOG_ERR, "arp: %6D is using my IP address %s!\n", - ea->arp_sha, ":", inet_ntoa(isaddr)); + ea->arp_sha, ":", inet_ntoa(isaddr)); */ itaddr = myaddr; goto reply; } - Donn --------------ABD696746D33D54680111FE2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="if_ether.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="if_ether.diff" --- if_ether.c.orig Wed Mar 29 02:50:39 2000 +++ if_ether.c Fri Apr 7 11:24:54 2000 @@ -554,9 +554,9 @@ return; } if (isaddr.s_addr == myaddr.s_addr) { - log(LOG_ERR, + /* log(LOG_ERR, "arp: %6D is using my IP address %s!\n", - ea->arp_sha, ":", inet_ntoa(isaddr)); + ea->arp_sha, ":", inet_ntoa(isaddr)); */ itaddr = myaddr; goto reply; } --------------ABD696746D33D54680111FE2-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
