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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
