Hi,

In the past few days, a couple of our webservers (dual P3s)
have started to emit $SUBJECT into the kernel logs fairly
frequently:

Sep  7 13:56:04 web2 last message repeated 32 times
Sep  7 14:41:03 web2 last message repeated 18 times
Sep  7 14:56:02 web2 last message repeated 18 times
Sep  7 14:56:02 web2 last message repeated 17 times
Sep  7 15:11:04 web2 kernel: initial req->mss below 8 
Sep  7 15:11:04 web2 last message repeated 17 times
Sep  7 15:26:05 web2 kernel: initial req->mss below 8 
Sep  7 16:26:04 web2 last message repeated 18 times

The machines are running RH6.2's stock kernel (haven't found
time to upgrade them yet).  One has been up 35 days, the other
4 days.

Should I be at all worried about the messages?  The source
around it suggests that it might have come from a dubious
header field in a received packet.  Is something sending us
dodgy packets?

Matthew.
