You can find out what ipchains rules are currently in effect with
"/sbin/ipchains -L".  The output from this command may be several screens in
length, so you may want to redirect the output to a file for reviewing.  Are
the logs current?  Does the output from dmesg agree with your logs?

Subject: Re: klogd using 80% of CPU?

Howdy,

Ok, this may sound silly but:

This is a leased co-hosted box. It was already set up with Red Hat when we
leased it. I have no idea where to look for ipchain rules (I didn't add
them, but the people we leased it from might have).

Where would they generally be found?

By the way, syslogd has been running full tilt now for nearly a week since I
first noticed it. And there's really not very much traffic on this server.
Also, there's really not too much stuff in the log files.

Are there any binaries I could check with md5sum? Which ones would they be?
If so, I"d appreciate it if someone who has a working syslogd could post
their md5sum value.

Thanks,

                JW
