All, I happened to notice that one of my machines that should be basically idle is showing about 20 packets a second coming in and out. This server is running samba and connected to a small network, but the volume is to small and slow to be a user interacting with the share. And I connected in via ssh to initiate the command, but I *assume* that the below is not all due to my ssh section. (ie. I hope am not just seeing the packets generated by me watching. Ooh, spooky physics time.) === # netstat -inc Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 013513328 0 0 020660318 1 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 LRU Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 0 20 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LRU Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 0 21 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LRU Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth2 1500 0 24 0 0 0 25 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LRU And it continues like that for a long time. I've spot checked at various times since I noticed this yesterday.
