Indeed it is a linux box, the firewall, which I have access to. My coworker, the administrator of this box, has simply turned a blind eye to this, on the grounds that it's not actually causing problems, just noise... but if it's a simple tweak, I'm sure he could be bribed with caffeine or somesuch. > printfs, or hide it behind log_arp_wrong_iface which is controlled by the > sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface.

Though you seem to indicate I would have to modify the kernel to achieve this, it seems to be that way already -- perhaps a recent thing? Regardless, I find it somewhat surprising my googling didn't point me in this direction. sh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
