I believe this is the kernel figuring out how long to keep stale ARP
entries before deciding that they really are stale.

I've seen those messages, and I'm still alive. Nothing to worry about. 


One message I've been getting in /var/log/messages really has me stumped:
 syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
Not exactly descriptive. It doesn't happen very often, but it happens. I
don't know what it's associated with... Here's a grep of the log files: 

/var/log/messages.0:May  7 20:08:31 kirk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
/var/log/messages.0:May  8 17:38:10 kirk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
/var/log/messages.3:Apr 15 19:03:27 kirk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
/var/log/messages.3:Apr 15 19:05:25 kirk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
/var/log/messages.3:Apr 17 19:59:26 kirk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument

Kirk is our primary DNS and mail machine. It doesn't happen on our other 
machine, or on my home machine. Any idea what that message is?
