I expect that you're receiving some packets over the network, with the
address family set to 18.  I don't know what "ash" is in the networking
sense, but I'm certain that it's not related to the shell.

I'd just add "alias net-pf-18 off" to /etc/modutils/aliases, followed
by running /sbin/update-modules.  That will eliminate the messages,
although it won't do anything for your curiosity.

Cheers!
