from some nosing around, i gather that net-pf-18 is related to 'ash' which apt-cache show ash says can be used as a replacement for bash...
but why'd it suddenly show up in my logs? Aug 24 12:51:27 server modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-18 Aug 24 12:51:58 server last message repeated 9 times Aug 24 12:52:00 server last message repeated 8 times /etc/modules.conf (potato) doesn't mention net-pf-18 of course; maybe it should -- but what's this mean?
