[PLUG] Apple talk and BOOTP "issues"
|
BACKGROUND:
I have a gateway system running e-smith (based on Red Hat 7.3). It has
two ethernet interfaces (eth0 and eth1) and serves as a firewall and
internet gateway. There are a number of clients (Windows XP, NT, 98)
and a single Apple Macintosh.
The gateway was rebooted yesterday for reasons unrelated to apple talk
or BOOTP. After the reboot, I see repeated messages like this in the
/var/log/messages file:
Oct 22 10:19:36 gateway atalkd[4195]: as_timer gateway 2036.70 down
Oct 22 10:19:36 gateway atalkd[4195]: rtmp_free: 2020-2099
Oct 22 10:19:36 gateway atalkd[4195]: as_timer last gateway down
Oct 22 10:19:57 gateway atalkd[4195]: rtmp_packet router has become available
Oct 22 10:19:57 gateway atalkd[4195]: zip_getnetinfo for eth0
Oct 22 10:19:57 gateway atalkd[4195]: zip gnireply from 2036.70 (eth0 12)
Oct 22 10:19:58 gateway atalkd[4195]: zip_packet configured eth0 from 2036.70
Oct 22 10:20:17 gateway atalkd[4195]: rtmp_packet gateway 2036.70 up
...AND...
Oct 22 10:20:21 gateway dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 02:00:0f:ff:ff:ff via eth0
Oct 22 10:20:21 gateway dhcpd: No applicable record for BOOTP host 02:00:0f:ff:ff:ff via eth0
eth0 is the internal interface so I don't believe that anybody is trying
to break in from the outside using BOOTP (if that's even possible).
Google searches have, so far, proved fruitless.
Can anybody tell me what they think is going on here?
Pointers to other sources of information would be appreciated.
TIA
Eric
