Hey folks,

I'm running syslogd in secure mode ("-s" option in rc.conf), and I got
these messages today:

Message from syslogd@lambic at Fri Feb 26 16:01:57 1999 ...
lambic syslogd: discarded 1 unwanted packets in secure mode

Message from syslogd@lambic at Fri Feb 26 16:01:57 1999 ...
lambic syslogd: discarded 2 unwanted packets in secure mode

...

I discarded 8 packets, all told.  I recognize I asked syslogd to discard
these, and sure enough, if I look at the syslogd man page, that's what it
says it's supposed to do.

What's it doing?  Any way to tell where these are coming from?  Should I
wonder about this?


Brian
