I am still having trouble with martians. If you recall, I have a samll Netgear print server on my HP Laserjet 1100 that is sending out martians every minute. I tried Mark Watts suggestion to make an entry in my level.local file, but the messages about martians are still showing up in my /var/log/messages
Here is the snippit from the post I am referring to. [Me] > Now to figure out how to either get my machine to ignore them, or get the > print server to stop sending them. [Mark] echo "enable_log_strange_packets(no)" >> /etc/security/msec/level.local && /etc/cron.hourly/msec Here is the contents of my level.local $ cat /etc/security/msec/level.local enable_log_strange_packets(no) Here is an example of the log entry Iam getting. kernel: martian source 192.168.0.9 from 192.168.0.0, on dev eth0 kernel: ll header: 00:50:2c:05:79:b1:00:c0:02:d7:89:03:08:00 Does anybody know how to prevent these martians from being logged? -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
