Hello,

I'm rather tired of the error flooding my logs also.  So I tried Dan's
suggestion:

# sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements=0
sysctl: unknown oid 'net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements'

# uname -a
FreeBSD cartman.lan.27in.tv 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #6: Tue Jan 29
22:51:31 EST 2002
root@cartman.lan.27in.tv:/usr/local/obj/usr/local/src/sys/CARTMAN  i386

Is there a kernel option that adds that sysctl?  or are you just running a
different release?

Thanks,
--Chris
