I recently found these log entries: messages.2:Dec 6 13:45:35 mohawk /kernel: fxp0: promiscuous mode enabled messages.2:Dec 6 13:46:31 mohawk /kernel: fxp0: promiscuous mode disabled messages.2:Dec 6 13:47:53 mohawk /kernel: fxp0: promiscuous mode enabled messages.2:Dec 6 13:51:00 mohawk /kernel: fxp0: promiscuous mode disabled messages.2:Dec 6 13:51:00 mohawk /kernel: fxp0: promiscuous mode enabled messages.2:Dec 6 13:55:42 mohawk /kernel: fxp0: promiscuous mode disabled Can someone tell me how this mode might be enabled/disabled? We have very few shell users on this machine and I didn't think any of them would know anything about promiscuous mode. Turns out I know little about it myself. Any pointers to relevant docs and/or some idea of what this might be about would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. - Ralph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
