Hi,
I hope this hasn't been asek to often, I couldn't find it anywhere here.
I'm running nano bsd on a network appliance with eight Copper and two fiber interfaces. My problem is that - although the fiber interfaces (em8/em9) aren't configured - my /var/log/messages looks as follows:
Obviously something happens every five minutes that causes this notification, however the only process that is called every five minutes is
The reason this bothers me is because the system is used as a firewall and sends all syslog entries to a central syslog server. We can filter these messages out, but I'd rather correct the problem then make a work-around.
Any ideas what's causing this? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, Martin
