Hy folks,

got some weird messges in my /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn that I cant find any information about on the net. Maybe one of you can shed some light on this.

kernel: ing_filter: fixed eth0 out eth0

The funny things is it happens about 5 times per hour. It is also followed by an iptables log entry from a rule that logs invalid TCP Options. Also it always comes in pairs. Meaning the same messages comes twice within one second.

I´m running SUSE 9.2 with the near default firewall. The nic is a Silicon Integrated SiS900.

very similar problem there

My guess: later version of netfilter than the one you have
would be ok.

PS: A better thread title would have helped

Thanks, the box i refered is used as an SQL replikation machine at work and is not very well maintained so far. This is my job now.

Your totaly right about the title. I did not think about it.
