I am systematically picking something that bothers me and fixing it, trying to get a system in perfect working order (an unattainable goal I'm sure, but I can try :)). Lately I have been noticing this particular error pop up on my console: thundarr /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1rt Obviously this is some sort of ethernet thing. I have two Intel Pro/100B cards, one to the dorm network and the other to my win98 machine. I am using natd to allow both machines to access the Internet. Other services I am running include sshd, Samba, httpd (apache) and for the moment SWAT. Sendmail loads up to mail stuff to root all the time as well. The above error does not seem to always restrict itself to network applications. For the most part, I get them when i try to reload nmbd after making some changes to my smbd.conf file (i reload both smbd and nmbd). However, I tried to play 'same-gnome' to kill some time earlier and was also seeing that error. To make sure it was not a coincidence I killed and reloaded the game a couple of times, and other gnome games (gnome-stones i think) and received the same error. The irritation factor here is that whatever programs seem to generate this error will not completely load until there is some sort of error timeout. Basically I would just like to understand what is going on here and what I can do to fix it. I can provide a copy of hosts or whatever if that would be more helpful, just mail me off the list.
