After 6.0 hit stable, I decided to upgrade my machine. Uname now reads:
FreeBSD pumpkin.lolikon.org 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #0: Sat Nov
5 08:12:50 CET 2005
darkgray@pumpkin.lolikon.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PUMPKIN i386
After the upgrade, however, I started getting spurts of error messages
posted to me in the daily security run output, looking like this:
pumpkin.lolikon.org kernel log messages:
+++ /tmp/security.rHb8JAYI Thu Nov 10 03:02:41 2005

These appear with a timestamp in /var/log/messages, and it seems I get
800 of these in one second, once a day at random timestamps. Never saw
them in 5.4, so I'm assuming it's because of the 6.0 kernel.
This is my ifconfig report on the NIC:
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>

Any ideas on cause and solution? I've never posted on this list
before, so if you manage to help, it'll make a very good first
impression. ;)
