Syslog

Hi -

We continue to log the following errors in the syslog. We are using DHCP on HPUX 11.0. We are not having any major problems related to this, although would be nice to get it cleaned up if possible. See below for message:

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Chris,

these messages have no meaning and are confusing. HP has already opened a service request for this and there will be a patch released to eliminate these misleading messages.

As long as you don't see an impact on the system you can ignore the messages
