It's due to certain systems with misconfigured TCP/IP stacks. If you want to get rid of it, 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses', and put this somewhere in your startup scripts to cause it to be set each time you boot. Alternatively, instead of fiddling with your startup scripts, you could install the systune package and put the following line in /etc/systune.conf: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses:1 -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
