getting these msgs from kernel

K.C. Chan — Mon, 22 Nov 2004 15:02:39 GMT

snipet of message log:
Nov 22 13:15:20 svr-x kernel: NET: 68 messages suppressed.
Nov 22 13:15:25 svr-x kernel: NET: 65 messages suppressed.
Nov 22 13:15:30 svr-x kernel: NET: 91 messages suppressed.

It is occuring so often, that I could not do a "control + alt + delete" to reboot it. I had to hard boot it.

Any Idea?

Can you do the command:

shutdown -ry now

That will boot it.

It would appear that messages are turned off. I'd check the /etc/syslog.conf

Then service syslogd restart

You can also do service syslogd stop

This will stop logging while you figure out what happened.

No, I could not do a "shutdown -r now" because I could not get a chance to type. After it came up, it is fined. I am just concerned about it because I have never seen it before. Come to think of it, it must have occured when I switched ip and hostname with another server. But did not restart syslogd. It must have gotten confused. Thanks for mentioning syslogd.
