Public bug reported: After upgrading from Xenial to Bionic, my syslog is being spammed by minissdpd. From today's syslog going back three hours:
15.05 jani@saegusa:~$ grep "is not from a LAN" /var/log/syslog | tail Mar 23 15:03:30 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.4:39280 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:03:33 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: message repeated 3 times: [ peer 192.168.1.4:39280 is not from a LAN] Mar 23 15:03:36 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.10:13206 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:03:36 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.10:13206 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:03:51 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.1:32769 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:04:21 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: message repeated 39 times: [ peer 192.168.1.1:32769 is not from a LAN] Mar 23 15:04:29 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.10:13206 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:04:29 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.10:13206 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:04:50 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: peer 192.168.1.1:32769 is not from a LAN Mar 23 15:04:51 saegusa minissdpd[1990]: message repeated 19 times: [ peer 192.168.1.1:32769 is not from a LAN] 15.05 jani@saegusa:~$ grep -c "is not from a LAN" /var/log/syslog 1623 192.168.1.0 is my LAN. According to the upstream report [1], specifying an interface should get rid of the "not from a LAN" messages, and I can confirm that adding "-i eth1" to the value of MiniSSDPd_OTHER_OPTIONS in /etc/default/minissdpd does just that. I don't know how good a solution adding a fixed interface is though, I'd imagine switching to (e.g.) a wifi interface on a system with multiple interfaces would cause the message flood to reappear. *[1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890584 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: minissdpd 1.5.20161216-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-12.13-generic 4.15.7 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.8-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Mar 23 15:25:25 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-10-13 (525 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: minissdpd UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: minissdpd Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: minissdpd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #890584 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890584 ** Also affects: minissdpd via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890584 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758332 Title: Flood of "peer a.b.c.d:port is not from a LAN" in syslog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/minissdpd/+bug/1758332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
