Folks,
In PR 166255 [1] it is suggested to allow disabling ‘promiscuous mode enabled’
warnings. It adds a sysctl to allow toggling this behaviour. I have a number of
questions before I commit the patch:
- are there any security related considerations wrt disabling this
warning?
- any other warnings that could be useful to disable/enable
- is the sysctl name net.link.log_promisc_mode_change , to be set to 0
to disable, suitable (compare: net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_warnings)?
- perhaps a different value for that sysctl to warn only the first
time? Not warn again within the next 10 minutes? etc.
I’d appreciate your suggestions.
